Who in their right mind would want to get away from it:eek:

But, I forget, you are from Ossy ... and a tory;):D

Slight thread detours are par for the course on here, and more or less inevitable.

Cashy moaning about the price of fizzy pop. Marg P. preferring a cup of coffee.

All part of the fun.

Be pretty boring if a thread couldn't meander slightly off topic.

You say 'playing to the lowest common denominator'.

Is that how you see such clubs, morally?

I've lived in cities which had lap dancing clubs, and never saw them creating any problems.

If they bring money and jobs to the town, good luck to them.

But I'm afraid I won't be investing with them.

C'mon, we're talking harmless entertainment here, not the Decline and Fall of The Accy Empire.

Maybe it has a little more to do with attempting to adjust to a post-industrial, post-Thatcher economy.

Be assured, you can socialise quite safely in Accrington.

Last time I was there on Saturday night for a meal, the streets were deserted.

A very safe...ghost town.

Much more shocking than shaking your booty for groups of lads, is the prostitution going on behind the suburban net curtains.

I know three whores working from home in Baxenden.

I'm not a moaning minny at all, much more a grumpy old woman! I'm obviously portraying the wrong message, I would just like to see Accrington doing well and not going downhill as it seems to be doing, nothing more, and I can't see a lap dancing club taking it any more upmarket whatever the increase in employment (temporarily) might be!

Hate to disillusion you, but we're never going to be Stow-on-the-Wold.

You have to work with the demographics you're dealt.

I'm sure market forces would already have established chi-chi restaurants and wine bars, if such businesses were seen as economically viable.

'Downhill' is the countless empty properties in Accrington, and never ending list of local businesses closing down.

If this new business succeeds, paying tax into our council's coffers, and providing jobs for local people...good.

God loves a tryer.

You're obviously not one.

Prefer to give in.

Moan people aren't giving their opinion, then throw a hissy, when people don't happen to share your own view.

Perseverance is a virtue.

I do agree with you, but perhaps the council should be making more effort to drum up more culturally acceptable custom - of course sex will always sell, but does it pay in the long run when only appealing to a particular section of the community? And also in the long run will it bring in more custom when as I said previously it is being done far better than some seedy backwater club above a restaurant in a small downmarket town in East Lancashire?

Culturally acceptable to whom?

Sex has been important in every culture, both socially and economically, since monkeys decided to wear clothes.

I've worked in the centre of economically buoyant cities which have had these clubs, and never heard of any problems they have caused.

Your argument doesn't wash.

So what would be your prescription for getting Accrington up and running then?
I am sure people would be very glad to hear of your suggestions. You could even enlighten HBC so they know just who to allow into town to trade.

Many industrial towns in the North West are suffering the same fate.
There is a lack of investment because nobody has much money to invest.......No-one is spending, incase they don't have a job tomorrow.

I don't know if you have looked around lately but all the boozers are shutting up shop.......changing to Indian Restaurants(how many indian restaurants can a town support)...lots of shops are empty...and the ones who are doing the most business are either charity shops or cut price stores(pound shops).
You don't need shops selling posh frocks when there is nowhere to go to wear your posh frock.

Wetherspoons and the meander in the thread came up because Wetherspoons was likened to the Lap dancing venue....so it wasn't a major thread wander....it was still about establishments that are in the town centre......that bring in trade.

Who decides what is and what isn't "culturally acceptable"? Why shouldn't something pay if it only appeals to one section of the community? Know your market and go for it is a tried-and-tested commercial principle.

You're not in league with that Godbothering bloke, are you?

In fact your argument is pish poor.

You'd prefer something else.

Something more 'culturally acceptable', 'less down market', but haven't said what.

If you object to this business opening because you think it's immoral, at least have the guts to say so, instead of coming out with all this guff about riff-raff etc.

Ex-Rev.

God made him redundant, due to liking the sound of his own voice, and showing off.

Thus breaking the 'No Pride' clause in his contract.

If you really hate the idea, then complain.......write/e-mail HBC and let them know of your concerns and enlist the help of other like minded folk to do the same.

I don't see any difference from "my own hometown Blackburn", I would have exactly the same views apart from the fact that Blackburn is bigger than Accrington and so perhaps it may not have the same impact.
Also, with regard to your previous post, I'm not throwing a "hissy" - I'm genuinely not that bothered, I just think it's a shame that Accrington can't come up with anything better, given it's rich history and beautiful buildings. It could be a beautiful place. And this is the end of my responses, whether you consider it a "hissy fit" or not! It's been good discussing with you all!

Nobody ever believes this, but when I accidentally stumbled into Hooters in Nottingham on my way to see Stanley play at Notts County, I honestly thought it was an owl-themed bar.

Mrs H certainly didn't when she found the forthcoming events leaflet in my jacket pocket the day after. ;)

Didn't Loony Logan try to ban Harry Potter, because he was in league with the supernatural, and therefore Satan?

Jeez, no wonder he's getting all hot under the collar, and worked up about some lasses jiggling their titty bottles about for mens' pleasure.

Hang on, isn't that what already happens in most clubs up and down the land, each and every Satueday night?

Yes Accrington has a rich history and it was once beautiful....it isn't quite so lovely now.
But no town can trade on its past........you can't look back...that isn't the way you are going.....looking back means you miss what is in front of you.

I would be truly interested in your recipe for making Accrington vibrant again.

That was my first thought, then i discounted it, due to having a ball at the northern soul at blackburn mecca n going across to the merchants fer the drag act etc, which by no stretch of the imagination was culturally acceptable back then, i think annes just forgot what a good night is to some,

As a resident of Accrington I object to being classed as "riff raff", for starters.

It seems you are the only person to object to this establishment being opened, and seem to be denigrating anyone who doesn't.

Who made you the guardian of people's morality?

Where do you suggest we stop? Close the private shop down, ban Anne Summers parties? Take the pole out of the local night club?

As previously stated if you really have a bee in your bonnet about something, take some action about it rather than moaning and preaching on here. Nothing so annoying as folk who complain but do nowt.

Coincidently, the Rev's missus is called Ann/e. Couldn't be could it?....

Yes, of course, I was right.

As one of the riff raff referred to in an earlier post , i have to say if the club is successful good luck to its owners and workers. But as the great Paddy mac says no likee no lookiee, some people need to get a grip what do they think this club will lead too? The moral and cultural breakdown of life in accrington, bit late for that the horse has already bolted.At the moment the opening of a titty bar is the least of our problems with as garinda has said, business after business closing, shops and property standing empty(until maundy grange buys it) the town is on its arse anyway so a few more bums and boobs wont make much difference.

Dunno about that, Dave. As Cashy has already pointed out, our Anne was a bit of a Northern Soulie in her youth (inbetween visits to the gay bar). See "Barbary Coast" thread. Maybe she should start a Northern Soul night. Me and thee'd be up there like a shot! :D

You say 'nobody is really bothered about this issue'.

Trust me, this has been quite a fast moving thread for Accy Web, with many people expressing their opinion on 'this issue'.

I fail to see what more can be expected.

I do agree with you on one point though.

I think part of a stag night experience is travelling somewhere away from home.

The 'you don't defecate on your own doorstep' theory.

;)
Think your spot on with the stag night theory Rindi, when I worked at the Cav we had coach loads coming in every weekend from Manchester, Wigan, Liverpool, Leeds and even Sheffield on occasions

I really don't know how to change things, other than rather than playing to the lowest common denominator, Accrington should be trying to aim a bit higher? I'm sure that other residents of the Accrington area would like to be able to socialise safely in the town centre in the evening which is not really an option at present.
It would appear you don't really get out a lot, but look on any web site and you'll find that most towns are the same for night life, back in the 70s and 80s there wasn't a better place in England for a night out than Blackburn catering for all needs, to-day its as dead as a dodo, just take a look at Blackburn web and you'll see the same complaints as on here. Accrington isn't the only place either that is struggling overall, every day on news channels there are stories of failing shopping centres. You say that Accrington should be aiming higher, but to do that you need money, which if you'd noticed is in quite short supply at the moment;)

A bit interesting Margaret, there was a saying back in the good old days Wine Dine and Bleed at the Top Hat:D

People only posted last night after being told off, that there wasn't enough attention being paid to the proposed lap dancing club, and the riff-raff it would attract.

We are an obliging lot.

Give, give, give.

Sorry if there was too much to wade through.

A very poor excuse, I also came on this morning and had to catch up, I didn't find it hard work or a lengthy process to absorb all that had been posted during my absence.

A full weekends NCIS? with an attention span like yours, you won't make it past the first episodes Titles.

So thanks to your laziness we end up with this thread wander, had you read through first Rindy wouldn't have had to answer your question by going the extra mile and putting effort into quoting what would have given you the answer.

I hope young Bee doesn't pick up any of your bad habits.

Can't remember you going through one.

Other than when you were a new member you moaned about people posting birthday greeting threads etc., and existing members explaining that they're an important part of what makes this forum a success...so you'd be wise to button it.

There's nearly as many moany old posts about new members' dreadful initiation rites, as there are about karma, and the mythical Accy Web mafia.

I certainly never experienced one.

Then again, even though as a newbie I rattled off many posts, I never shouted my mouth off, criticising the forum, or existing members.

That came much later...when I could provide evidence to back up my statements.

Not to worry we'll make up for it.

Oh how remiss, watch this space...


Actually, I've noticed most decent new members, once they get over their initial, 'keyboard fears', post very nicely, in their own, evil ways that get away with being called 'acceptable', it's the ones that come on site and demand we all align to their way of thinking that get the stick.

God, I've had plenty of those and so have the rest of you, they always want us to conform to them, (the ones that stay realise, this site ain't for conforming, we just do).:D

Re: Lap Dance Club
 
A few points for everyone's information -
1. I have no connection whatsoever to Kevin Logan - I do not know the man and have no desire to.
2. What I got up to in my youth over forty years ago has no bearing on the person I am today.
3. I stand by my opinions regarding the proposed lap dancing club, whilst appreciating that other people have their opinions.
4. I have been surprised by people appearing to deliberately misinterpret my comments and make general personal assumptions about me without knowing me at all.
5. I appear to have foolishly misinterpreted what appears to be a definite clique for friendliness - silly me!
6. If you are thinking of responding to my comments, please don't bother because I will not be visiting this site again - please feel free to discuss amongst yourself if you've nothing better to talk about! If I could fathom out how to unsuscribe I would!
Bye!

More come backs than Barbra Streisand.

You should be on the stage.

Or if you're a bit nervous, start off smaller.

A pole in a local club, entertaining the riff-raff.

Personally I think it's sad if you disappear.

Your choice though. No one's forcing you.

I'd feel it a poor do if I ran off after encountering someone I had a difference opinion with.

I'd much prefer to stand my ground, and have my opinions heard, even if no one else shared them.

She did have a one-sided view and did rub people up the wrong way with her riff-raff comment. However, she herself was subjected to patronising comments from all sides, which at times seemed a concerted effort to belittle her.

Anyone's free to share their views on this forum, within the rules.

However, if you decide to take a holier than thou stance, and use strongly worded posts to share that view, you must be prepared to take the flak, as well as accept the fact that others mightn't agree with you.

If you can't stand the heat, a bit unwise to apply for a job as a kitchen porter.

I would suggest riff-raff don't exactly build people up.;) also her comment about cliques on here did'nt endear her to a few, an allegation that gets a bit boring after a few years of em from various folk.
