I didn't want to comment on this thread as I am not in the UK but I talk to my Dad weekly and he is a Burnley Lad born and breed, although he lives in Hapton he shops in Accy the reason... Burnley has gone down hill in the last few years and doesn't look like getting any better, the market is non excistent and he doesn't feel safe walking around the town he grew up in. A couple of years ago I came home for Christmas and went in to Burnley to get some last minute shopping not a smile on anyones face and customer service was a non starter in fact both my wife and I commented on the fact that not one person said "Thank you" as you passed over the money or left the store. Burnley may look the part but until you bulldoze the center and start again it won't improve.
