Cheers - I can't give you directions as it's so long ago I've forgotten the lay out and so on. It's probably all changed now - has the estate been increased since the 70's, or is it the same size?

Don't know if it's been increased, like i said, i've only been in Blackburn 16 years, i don't think in that time they have built any new houses up there other than the bungalows, i live near wynsors shoe shop, don't know many up Shad

Much more interesting and lively thread about issues raised by this programme, on Facebook.

Involving those who now mainly enjoy discussing things there, away from the invading trolls, pedantic spell checkers, and laughter police.

Not an option for the friendless, l suppose, but apparently suits some.

Being made of sterner stuff, I'll happily post in both places.

The nasty brigade, like shame, I fear not.

:)

So, my inital own thought, after watching this programme...

'I didn't want him goin' up there to no school, I wanted him to stay home with me.' said the feckless, work-shy, maid of Kent, as she rolled another joint. 'I didn't want him to go there, so they could have their influence over him.'

Run boy! Run for your life! Run to school, and never look back!

There is somewhere better than your moronic, poor excuse for a mother's Shadsworth home.

;)

The debate did widen somewhat...as my friends will know.

Encompassing the liberalisation of the education system in the sixties, drug use and poverty, both actual and moral, and the legacy of New Labour governments on the traditional working classes.

Good, lively, interesting stuff.

:)

It was like being at work for a day, condensed in to one hour and one location. :(

I think Shadsworth is just one of many estates around the country which depicts so called poverty, Fern Gore, behind Dill Hall Lane, Belfield road, Highercroft, Mill Hill, Whitebirk, Grange park in Blackpool, every town has a 'Shadsworth' or two, Shadsworth could have been any one of them last night.

I do however commend the Lancasters in Working and wanting to work, they are at least trying to bring their children up properly and wanting the best for them

I think a lot of people would agree with that.

As well as the kids with morons for parents, you have to feel sorry for the many decent folk forced to live on similar estates, who are working hard to bring up their families well, inspite of all the anti-social behaviour that surrounds them.

After watching the programme last night, I really hope that man's inundated with offers of more challenging, better paid employment, and he can leave his hundred quid a week cleaning job. He deserves it.

That's exactly what I said last night when I was watching, I really hope that man and his wife get snapped up by someone and do really well, they deserve better.

Yes, the Co-op is now a Spar and has been extended at the front. When I was little, there used to be a Co-op (where you had to queue to be served before it became self service), a greengrocers I think, a butchers and a newsagents.
