Maybe the point flew straight over your head.

So you try and divert him onto my pet thread? But I suspect he knows nothing about maths either! Crocheting-yes but maths?

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Then again, maybe it didn't....but I'm perplexed. What has pseudo-scientific, neo-Marxist claptrap got to do with the splendour of Accy's Victorian Hall, its history and its future?

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Again, digressing.

The workers in the places I named were paid in cash, and therefore did have some option of choice, as to where to spend that money.

Though in reality, if you lived in Saltaire, working six days a week, you could always journey into Bradford to do your shoping, on your solitary day off.

There wouldn't have been many places to spend that money. The Sabbath being a day when trading was forbidden.

They say history always repeats itself.

With the opening of the massive new Tesco store, it probablty will.

;)

No councillors willing to share yet, just how much Tesco donated to council coffers?

:rolleyes:

How about how much the new road works and roundabout's cost? I know that falls under L.C.C., but any ideas?

Can't be much change out of a million quid, considering the tiddly little roundabout on Haslingden Old Road cost £800,00.00.

:rolleyes:

I know one nutter, plus another nutter, equals two fools having a party.

;)

Many strings to my bow.

A blessing; Being bestowed with so many gifts.

Now toodle off back to plumbing the depths, in your Look and Learn of 1964 thread, this one's about the refurbishment of the Market Hall.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Underestimation equals one of many, whose card is now marked.

Too many cards to count.

Not having the time myself to waste on something so straightforward as mathematics. Boringly simple formulas, that an even simpler machine can do, or even a monkey.

I'll leave that to you, Chee-Chee.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Quite possibly soon to be empty market, an ex market where people used to shop till the traders were driven away.
Maybe a certain councillor has it earmarked for a place to display his medal and plaque collection.
I think rindys point was the market was a metaphor for the downtrodden masses and tesco is the upper class mill, shop, house,everything you need to survive provider.
Thats what i thought anyway.


I could always take Jays view and just blame the last 13 years of labour rule.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

You are the one who digressed and brought up this nonsense about the truck system. I've stuck to my guns all the time about the Victorian market hall and right from when I first joined this website in 2003 I have continuously opposed the public laterine called ASDA and I shall continue to do so about Tesco.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Whilst opposing what ya rightfully call the public latrine, ive seen ya yon.:D:D:D:D:D

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Happily for you I'm not the leader of the council!

My mistake doesn't change millions into thousands though, it's just gibberish.

Suprisingly it still reads illustratively, and conveys my point as to costs.

It also serves as a reminder of not posting on Accy Web, whilst also attempting to scramble an egg.

:D

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Asda, and Tesco will slug it out.

With Tesco's wonga in the council's coffers, Tesco will emerge as victor.

The losers will be the townsfolk of Accrington, who then have little choice as to where to shop.

Short-sightedness is common to many politicans.

The nature of having elections every few years, mean they very rarely look at the long term effects of their policy decisions.

Especially when they can get their hands on a 'donation', in the here and now.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Aye..to use the nearest cash machine to Church, if I recall. I may have piked up a bottle of milk while I was there, though.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

A Tealeaf in Asda?

Surely not.

:rofl38:

I have been in.

Twice in six years, and bought nowt, each time.

:D

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

There's no doubt Tesco do bribes; forgetting the brown envelope stuff, I think I put a posting a few months ago on the Stanley section about Tesco's football summer schools in Lancashire in 2010; 4 of 'em in total, all located in areas where Tesco had previously got planning permission for store developments. One of 'em, of course, was the Sports Centre in Church.
