I always had the **** taken out of me when I moved over here and still do occasionally. I don’t know I always enjoy coming home to Accy; even those that don’t like me are decent people and go out of their way to accommodate. I think there’s always been a friendly element to people in the East Lancashire area, particularly around Accrington. Maybe it steams from the necessity to depend on the community and neighbours during crises, not just the pals, but the nature of the hardships suffered in the Mines and Mills throughout history.
