Accrington Web - View Single Post - M&S to close

ASFC1951 · 05-08-2003, 13:34

I live just down the road in Stockport now and there are various professional and domestic reasons why I can't move back. However, if I could, I'd do it tomorrow. Accrington has had a raw deal over the last forty years, losing most of its traditional industries and suffering neglect from successive governments who prefer to channel regeneration funds into places like Liverpool, because that's what makes the headlines. Despite that, it's still a great town and Accringtonians are the friendliest, most dependable people you'll find anywhere who have retained their proud spirit and sense of humour. I'm proud to be an Accy lad.

As for M&S, who wants to pay through the nose for their food, anyway?
