Like I said to the man who asked me my opinion, I do expect to move away but I still have my family here who don't intend on leaving, and it would be nice to be able to say where I come from and have some pride about it.

Instead it's close enough to Burnley to be linked with the BNP, and our exciting town history is shadowed by how depressing the place is now because all the shops are shutting.

Also, there are hundreds of case reports that I need, even my reasonably brand new laptop would not take too kindly to be storing them on my laptop, though I do have many on various pen drives. The trouble is when I need more and there is nowhere to go to get them.

It's a shame Accrington isn't a bit more like Lancaster actually, it once had that same character, but whilst Lancaster has embraced other cultures and new developments, Accrington seems to have rejected it. It's all just a great shame I think. A great shame indeed.

Also, there is always problems like these between generations so I'm not going to take offence. I was simply repeating what the man said to me because it was quite interesting. The regeneration is quite interesting too. I'd say the biggest that accrington has ever had. It's a shame that it is being shunned by cynics.
