Re: population
 

We had to do it for Bentley's geography in year 7 you should have a rough estimate already :D

Re: population
 

According to Wiki -

Ossy - 12,532 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswaldtwistle

Accy - 35,203 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accrington

Hyndburn - 82,200 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyndburn

Re: population
 

Surely it's gotta be less now, what with all the stabbings:rolleyes:

Re: population
 

and me and ty have moved over since then :D

Re: population
 

82000 and something as quoted for Hyndburn

Fro more accuate details contact the council and ask for the person who deals with the Census details. I have never dealt with the one for Hyndburn but in generally they are very helpful and grateful for someone to talk to

Re: population
 

I never thought of looking on wikipedia. We aren't allowed to use it as a source at uni, so I never bother with it.

As for Bentley Shakermaker, do you honestly think I ever paid attention?

Re: population
 

I think you should play Accywebs Nancy :p

Re: population
 

That's why I was never great at geography. I was copying off you! :rolleyes: :D

Fred Bentley is a legend.:mosher:

Re: population
 

Never heard of him - googled - soil scientist? - how legendary is that ! :confused:

Re: population
 

Margaret he is/was a teacher at Holy Family/ Mount Carmel;)

Re: population
 

Contrary to popular belief, Google is the creation of mortals and thus does not hold all the answers.

Fred Bentley was our somewhat legendary Geography teacher at Mount Carmel. Taught P.E. back in the day and then moved on to Geography when he himself became fossilised.

Re: population
 

I think it was possibly my worst subject at school. And that time he put a picture of an eye on a graph and said it represented my 'gorgeous eyes'... how embarrassing. He seemed to think all the lads should fancy me lol

Re: population
 

Played darts for the Little Bull in Accy...........Remember him well.

So he is famous amongst those he taught - hopefully for the right reasons :D

Re: population
 

He was a fabulous teacher, but retired now. I think its sad how you lose touch with teachers. I would love to see him again and let him know how I was doing, he always thought very highly of me.
In fact, once he embarrassed me in front of the whole class for my poor attendance by reading out my CAT score and saying how it was the best in my year and I should be getting A's. Shame I never listened.

Re: population
 

Ha! I actually remember that. It wasn't all so bad afterall :rolleyes::D

Re: population
 

Also remember that. He did the same with me when he covered a history lesson, the ******.

Re: population
 

I honestly think the times he embarrassed me are the only things I remember from geography.

Re: population
 

The worst thing is that I had the same as Dale and he actually got the A's and I didn't :p dales doing a maths degree though, what do you even DO with a maths degree?!

Re: population
 

Count up your debts after graduation ;):D

Re: population
 

Mine wont even end after graduation, have to do another course that costs £11,500 for a year. THEN I have to train lol. Pooooooor

Re: population
 

...which is why I am buggering off to Scotland. Land of the free universities! Well, not free, but cheap. :)

Re: population
 

Just hope labour don't get into any position of power there.

Re: population
 

Such is life.....Get a proper job and find your way where you can prove to yourself and others that your contribution is worthwhile and you train by experience, not by listening to failed tutors who would find a better job if they could.

Re: population
 

Most of my tutors work in research within the university and regularly have articles published in the law journals, they're aren't just tutors. In fact I don't know of any which haven't had some sort of academic article published in the law journals, but the head of our law school is massively respected in corporate law an works internationally.

What would you even class as a 'proper job'? I can't think of anything I would rather be doing right now, even if I have been sat up all night writing case notes. It's all very worthwhile when you can see justice being done, and it very nearly always is done regardless of what the daily express might tell you.

Re: population
 

I was very interested in the figures especially Ossy 12,532, can't remember the exact figure but the population has increased by about 1000 over the last 15 years, used to be around 11,500 give or take

Re: population
 

There's been a lot of new homes built in that period, both in the Moscow Mill area, and on the site of the old mill behind Roegreave Road.

Re: population
 

I really must get out more Rindi, you don't see to many new houses from my gaff to Ossy Social in a taxi:D

Re: population
 

Even you must see the new houses near the Heys, as you pass.

Try wiping the windows.:D

Re: population
 

Its no use wiping the windows when your eyes are like cross eye Clarance Rindi:D

Re: population
 

Having only read the first post in this thread and not being bothered to read any more, I would estimate just enough!
:hidewall:

Re: population
 

I think we have more than enough :p cant believe we manage to fit that many people into ossy. Some of the chavs must be "toppin' ''n' tailin'"

Re: population
 

which as probably gone up another 1000 + since your post :D
