I've lived in Accy for 5 and half years....
 

...and I only found out yesterday where Union St is. I walk up and down it every day.:D

When will I ever learn where things are in this flippin town!

Re: I've lived in Accy for 5 and half years....
 

I've lived here most of my life and still sometimes have a mental block on where streets are. I wouldn't mind but I worked on the district round here for 8 years and still get confused. If it's any consolation, I always get lost in Darwen...:D

Now how can you get lost in a little town like Darwen?:D

Re: I've lived in Accy for 5 and half years....
 

I dunno, but I always manage it. I once stopped someone to ask directions to the Health Centre and I was right outside the damn thing.......:rolleyes:

Re: I've lived in Accy for 5 and half years....
 

Y'know...thats on Union St as well...

Coincidence?;)

Re: I've lived in Accy for 5 and half years....
 

I know....... Spooky!!!! I was actually sat outside the fire station when I asked for directions, felt a right pillock when the man just pointed to the next building along the street. In my defence, I was late for a clinic and having a major panic attack at the time. :)

The football ground is up Whalley Road about half a mile past the hospital on the righthand side, behind the Crown pub for anyone who's interested!

When I first moved up here last March, I remember jumping in my car to drive to Willows house which is all of 200 metres away (I know I am lazy, Its an "old age" thing).......and managed to get myself lost:confused: It took me over 20 minutes !!

However, I redeemed myself the other day when I showed Willow a Quick way of getting to Baxenden from her house......"Oooh" was about all she could say:p

:D I'm not sure it's any quicker than the way I normally would go but in my defense I have to say that many years ago I was told by a farmer's wife that it was a private road which didn't lead to anywhere but farms so I never bothered to venture down it. :p


Without looking at a map sometimes it's hard to know what streets are called in this town with all the missing signs! :confused:

Lettie you're not quite so bad as the American woman in York one day who was saying to her husband "Honey we really gotta go look for this shop called Mark and Spencer!" He rolled his eyes and looked over the top of her head. She turned round and ........... yep, there she was standing right in front of M&S!

Darwen is a funny shape. It confuses me too. :D
