In a way Accy is luckier than Blackburn.

Get slightly away from the main drag and we do have a selection of independent retailers. Warner Street's full of them.

Can't think of many in Blackburn.

Gary, I went to Cheltenham and was really disappointed...yes there was a portion of the town that was 'posh'....but the main part of the town was no better than Accy.
Just my perception of it(Oh, yes...Ma wasn't impressed either)

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

me late wife was expelled from school in Cheltenham, cos they were picking on her younger sis, (cos of being northerners) so as well as being a bit of a dump, its full of tarts as well.:D

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

Yes, Cashy....I was expecting something a little more up-market.......it was a huge disappointment...but now I have seen it, and passed judgement...I hope not to go there again. It was not to my taste.

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

Tis true.

There are also many down at heel areas in the capital. Some just yards from the most expensive real estate in the world.

Nevertheless, as most of us seem to agree, it doesn't make this author's description any less true.

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

You see we don't know if Stuart Maconie mentioned Accrington's illustrious past......and the fact that the town had once been glorious....I think maybe he might have done because wasn't he looking at the Pals Regiment.......we are only told of his derogatory(but seemingly fair and true) remarks.
This is what I mean when I say we should not rely on what the LT tells us.....in relation to context.......and anyway, didn't someone once remark that there was no such thing as bad publicity?

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

Hardly a shock wadey, as most dingles are illiterate.:D

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

You're right.

As far as I can make out he visited Accy because of the Pals.

Which can only be a good thing, and help further their fame even more.

It even made it to the "Big Telegraph".

Writer upsets Accrington with description of 'unlovely' town - Telegraph

Re: DJ's book 'unflattering' about Accy.
 

Well, Stuart Maconie didn't upset me with his criticism........I am pretty sure there are lots more like me who couldn't really care what Stuart thinks.........he is entitled to his opinion(which, to be honest, is a fair representation).
I think there is little chance in the near fututre for Accrington to become any better....given the global financial situation.......that's reality, we have to live with it, but we can try to improve our image little by little.
