it always worries me when we start talking 'socio-economic'. Thats business bull**** for 'the real world'. I have a LOT of respect for those who fought and died in teh 2 world wars(My dad fought in far east in WW2). those of us with common sense already know that the women left behind were hero's as much as those fightng in foreign fields. They worked hard and continued to bring up families in what were despicable conditions when compared with today.

Why do we feel the need to waste countless thousands of pounds that could be used far more efficiently because someone feels we need to have this obscure understanding of what in reality we all know. Life was hard, they got on with it without consideration of what someone 90 years later would give the title of "A Socio-economic study of the effect of WW1 on Accrington".
