Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

I've tried to see things in a more positive light, as suggested by Peter Britcliffe, in the hope that this mass feel good factor will bring greater prosperity to our area.

Sadly the only two things I came up with are the natural landscape, and the people. Both beyond reproach.

Everything else I came up with, I could see the need for improvement.

I love Accrington's Victorian Arcade. Anywhere else in the country it would be seen as a jewel in our architectural heritage. Sadly the rents are too high, and it's full of catalogue seconds stores and empty units. It would be wonderful if it was a place filled with retailers, and would create a link between the town centre and the under used shops struggling on Warner Street.

Everything else I like and cherish I can see how improvements would benefit and make it better.

From someone who definetly sees the glass as half full, rather than half empty, I find that quite sad fact.

(Rindy departs, wondering if it is too late to find a pair of rose coloured specs, and enter the Observer's glasses wearer of the year competition.)

Sorry you are out of luck. :( PB has a monopoly on em.

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

But if I convince myself really, really hard that I have some, they might magically appear, through the strength of my positive thought.:D

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

While you are at it see if that will cojour up a couple of quid for improvements of the town. Failling that a rich dude who wants to make the place look good.

The thing that frusrates me, and this is nationwide, and just doesn't relate to Hyndburn Borough Council, is that you have a lot of elected people handling multi-million pound budgets.

If these jobs were salaried posts, and were advertised, most of the present incumbent's c.v.'s would go straight into the bin, because of a lack of experience and qualifications.

Have you tried the Pound shop? lol

:rofl38:

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

:D Rindy earlier commented that Accrington has gone downhill in the past ~30 years. Could it possibly be the lost of that great English gentleman, George Henry Hall (me Granddad) in the early 80s. Accrington lost its goodluck charm?:rolleyes:

Or maybe the fact that me Aunt Maude tossed his ashes in her rose bushes (12 Oswald Street). Thus causing the beginning of Accrington's demise. Just think, that dust floating around could be a bit of me grampa!:p

One of the coolest things I noted while visiting Accrington was the wicked huge pool table at the Bold Street WMC.

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

Cant have been a big rose bush on Oswald Street with no front garden and a small back yard for the bin and toilet. :p

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

well i must agree with you about accrington there is not a lot down there most of the shops have shut down and theres not a lot on the markets as well but i think my self a lot what come to the hyndburn area go to the oswaldtwistle mills but i think that is also very dear to go to for a visit

Re: Rose coloured criticism.

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

Depends on how much the other half wants to spend. ;)

I have only been once and that was in July and I could have quite happily taken the entire sweet shop with me. :o To me it is a little jewel in the area. :)

Re: Rose coloured criticism.

Re: Rose coloured criticism.
 

Doesn't Mallard live in Blackpool?
