I know.

Just as I know the 'celebrity' chef isn't really called Silly Dildo.

I was going to put 'the little chap who was inside Metal Micky'.

Might have been a bit more obvious that I was being facetious.

:D

Well the Accrington Observer is moving back to Accrington!:D

We're back in town: Observer opens new office at Accrington Market Hall | Accrington Observer - menmedia.co.uk

Of course in the newly refurbished Market Hall!:rolleyes:

Peter Britciffe's words : " ...right at the vibrant part of Accrington.....beating at the heart of Accrington.....genuinely delighted.....a very important part of our community.....a key way for us to find out what's happening in our community....."

My words : " :tongueout" .

Trouble with you JCB is your far too polite, mine description starts with B and ends in K:rolleyes:

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Have they ever applied for change of use for the market hall from retail to business ? surely there is a percentage of use which defines the use of a building

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

It may well be if it wasn't seemingly written all about one person.

I'm genuinely pleased that it's moving back to Accrington. From what I can gather from people who have read it for years it has unsurprisingly gone somewhat downhill since the move to Manchester and it makes sense to have a local paper actually in the community it is reporting on.

However, they really do need to exercise a bit more political balance in my opinion.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Yes I agree with what your saying, balance is essential, not enough input from P.B. in the old Obbo' and wouldn't it be nice if now and again we could have a picture of our glorious leader unveiling a plaque, accepting a medal or even closing the odd toilet?

Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre was re-opened again last Thursday by the Leader of the Council.

It's possible that there will be a story on it in this week's Observer....

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

i'm convinced Uncle fester has shares in The Observer

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

No but he could in Kodak:D

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

I wonder if Gayle will be in it as well?

Knowing what he's like though it will be 99% him, 0.5% Gayle, (the tip of her elbow after he's rugby tackled her out of the way), and 0.5% of The Theatre.

Yes, we are in for a treat, aren't we?
:)

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Can't see that myself. Observer moves in to Market Hall, no way would a council leader have an undeclared personal interest in such a move. It would be immoral and dishonest :rolleyes:

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

You all invite anger upon this forum with your unfounded allegations, I cannot be party to this.

Having said that, I was told in full council that I don't know when to keep my mouth shut so what sort of hypocritical councillor would I be if I tried to silence the people?

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Nowt new there then!

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Probably a Tory one Ken. Not only do they want to silence the people, but they won't tell us anything themselves. It all seems to be hush hush with them.
