I can see the house where i was born now from the house where i live now and have done for the last 35 years!!! Also seeing as im in Rossendale we call accringtonians - accylads and lasses. Im a Brigger seeing as i was born here and still live here.

But your profile says your location is Accrington. :confused:

I don't know of any derogatory names for Accringtonians. I was born in Blackburn but my parents lived in Hapton at the time and so did I for the first 4 years of my life.

I can officially claim to be an Accringtonian as I was born at Rough Lee;it even says Accrington on my passport ! Think my mum had 2 of us at Rough Lee and t'other at Blackburn. Sadly my daughter has Blackburn on her passport :rolleyes:
