Information Request
 

Hi Guys and Gals,
I was windering if you could help someone from over the border (Manchester). I dont know why, but i've had the opportunity to visit Accrington recently and for some reason I'm beginning to fall for it. So much so that I am considering moving there.
However, I have no clue as to what it's like the good the bad the indifferent, so if anone can help me with this i'd be glad to recieve your replies.
Is it a good place to live, what's happening, are you all friendly to us stangers? or is it like getting in the mason's ( like where I am now).
I hope you'll be nice to me......awaititng your replies
Jane:)

Hi & welcome to the local madhouse:D

In answer to your question, its good to live here well its home, yeh we are a friendly protective bunch on the whole :D

Re: Information Request
 

Hello and welcome.:)

It's very friendly, the people are the plus side. The minus side is that there is much less to do here than in Manchester, though it's not that far to go back to visit if you miss the bright lights too much.

Hello Jane :wave: welcome to accyweb

It's not bad, it's my favourite place to be ;) The Council are a bunch of incompetent ****s but other than that yeah it's not bad :thumbsup: Good luck with the move

Re: Information Request
 

Fot the price of a skinny Latte in Manchester, you can get a whole load of shopping in one of our many pound shops.:D

Re: Information Request
 

Thanks guys, want to get away from the bright lights.looks like i've had a change of heart, prefer somewhere with decent people down to earth not mup thier own opinions and keeping up with the jones' lot.
look like my type of people!
cheers
Jane

Re: Information Request
 

Have u got a place to move into in mind or looking Jane?

Re: Information Request
 

Hiya Jane

I moved here in November so I'm afraid I'm still on probation terms to tell you what it's like. So far it's been fine but as you mentioned the Masons there are one or two on here who like a funny handshake but I don't think it's fair to discuss peoples sex lives :D

Re: Information Request
 

I'm from here, but spent half my life in London, and a little bit in Glasgow. Moving home was the best thing I ever did. Compared with the cities, the people here are genuinely the salt of the earth.

Good luck with what you decide to do.:)

Re: Information Request
 

Hiya Jane and welcome to accyweb.

Re: Information Request
 

well you sound a good laugh up to now, but the important part! what is there to do there, pubs etc. Will people welcome me and my friendly visitors to your town or will I have the same problem I had in a pub on the outskirts of Bury? As soon as they heard us order a drink, everyone went into freeze frame, and after our second drink the landlord turned the music off, and actually stated this was a pub for locals and more importantly to him MALE locals!
What is there to do, are the pubs full of kids like Manchester or are there some for us old ones?
cheers

Re: Information Request
 

There's enough choice. Yes you have the kiddy wanna-be drinkers but there's enough pubs for us lot too.

Re: Information Request
 

cheers tinkerbelle, i've been searching the web what's Burnley Road like as an area? never been there so have no clue

Re: Information Request
 

PMSL. That sounds like Royston Vasey. It's not like that here, they might turn the music up when you walk in, but not off.

Re: Information Request
 

Its like most towns we have the kiddie teens element & the grown up pubs hehehehehe so u will be fine, im sure u will be ok Accy has had a few contingents of families move here from Manchester, we're used to it so no alien from mars atmospheres here:D

Re: Information Request
 

Yes it was a bit Royston Vaseym but since learned that it's that type of pub no laydeez welcome!

Re: Information Request
 

Burnley Road is fine, but be a bit choosey with streets leading off there. Excellent schools in the area if you have kids

Re: Information Request
 

HIYA JANE WELCOME TO ACCYWEB....moved away myself but not because i didnt like it there but because i adore the seaside and still didnt want to be too far away from friends and family back there ..I have relatives up burnly rd and they love it up there..good luck

Re: Information Request
 

Yeh its a good area i grew up round there well peel park area off there:D

Re: Information Request

Re: Information Request
 

Nice one! sounding better all the time, now anyone who can answer this one? what's Burnley Road like? i've seen a house on the web but not having a clue where that is in Accy I dont know if it's an ok place or not, or if someone knows the ok places let me know.

Re: Information Request

Re: Information Request
 

hello & welcome:Banane25:

Re: Information Request
 

Hiya jane, welcome to accy web, enjoy :D

Hope if you decide to come over to these parts that it all goes smoothly and you settle in well.... there are a few small towns surrounding accy that could give you even more options!!

Re: Information Request
 

Thanks everyone for all your help, i'll let you know how it all goes with the viewing! you've all been funny and fab! You never know I may see you all at one of your meet up's. Take care all of you X X X

Re: Information Request
 

'My' side of Burnley Road is fine (ie towards the hospital) however the other side can be a bit iffy.
Bang on Burnley Road tends to be a safe area 99% of the time.

Re: Information Request
 

hi jane welcome to accyweb

Re: Information Request
 

Hi Jane, you don't say what your preference in property is, which will sort of govern where you want to live. I presume you have had a good enough look around and seen that there are some new properties and areas being built. I can definately recommend the west end of Oswaldtwistle area which is only a stones throw away from Accy.........nice and quiet, good people. Good hunting and welcome to the area if you do move.:)

Re: Information Request
 

hi Jane.....
not wanting to be Mr bonfire urinator... but out of the whole country WHY Accy????

Re: Information Request
 

Why not?

I've lived all over the UK, and everywhere has it's problems. We have no more, or no less than anywhere else, plus the people are great, and we have fantastic countryside on our doorstep.

Go on, name an area of the UK, and I'll tell you a problem about the place that could be highlighted..if I was a moaning minnie.:D

Re: Information Request
 

i'd say accy is a friendly place :D thats why i moved :D

Re: Information Request
