No I know you weren't, and to be honest, I think we are doing this author a disservice by relying on what the LT tell us he is saying...they really aren't interested in what the book says,(or Accrington's reputation for that matter) they may have taken what he said out of context just to make it a bit contentious...and of course to sell newspapers.........the publicity won't do the book any harm either.
The town is like many northern industrial towns, it has had a shiny past, but in general these towns have
all suffered from the loss of industry(because it was that that made the town rich...in every way)and a lack of investment.
