Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
Yes Stuart Maconie is an 'outsider', in that he's not an Accringtonian. He's from Wigan, but he still lives in the north.
Not really that much of an outsider. He's not from Bradford, or Basingstoke for goodness sake.
Seems to me he's just saying it as it is.
The town prospered because of cotton being more easily worked in our damp climate.
The textile industry has all but vanished.
We are a bit down at heel, relative to other towns. That's just a fact of life.
The people left are still the friendliest in the country.
That's also a fact.
