oak hill memorial
 

just read in the observor that the war memorial has been vandalised again i find this mindless behavior pathetic. disgusting,as the police have got certain names@info from what the mindless cretins wrote i sincerly hope that the culprits will be brought to book(not community service) JT is fit by cc.zaf and julie c and damo i would hope that when the police visit the schools or anybody who knows these louts shops em.there now i've had my rant, but behaviour like that really winds me up.

It's very sad that this sort of thing goes on, I work with ex-servicemen in my job,even though it's sixty years ago some still get nightmares about the war,some were wounded, and know how much they get upset by this sort of vandalism,I had the privalage to know one of the last of the Accrington Pals who told me all about the Somme and the horrors of the first world war,those that do this are'nt fit to wipe their boots!!!:mad:

See the thread "Respect - or rather the lack of it"

Re: oak hill memorial
 

seen the thread a-b, the thing is there is names or nicknames in the paper,to me that means a chance to catch these LOUTS,that is why i resurected it in this format!

Sooner the better, it would be nice if these people could be publicly named and shamed.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

i was thinking beaten :mad:

Re: oak hill memorial
 

i would love to see them caught and educated----- prefeably in strangeways.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

i would love to see them caught and educated----- preferably in strangeways.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

in strangeways showers perhaps lol

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Educated or EXECUTED? :)

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Educated with a stick!

Re: oak hill memorial
 

It would be an idea to have the birch for Public Crimes like this.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Its disgusting isn't it, my grandad was a prisoner of war and most of the younger louts may have no connection to the war, but most of all they just lack respect and discipline, I go to Oakhill park regular to feed the ducks and take Ellie to the park which is lovely apart from the broken beer bottles. Probably needs to be a new thread but bring back a bit of discipline ie cane and a good slap round the head I say!

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Yes,disgusting behaviour.If the culprits are caught,what will happen?I know of several similar occurences when the people where caught they didnt even warrant an ASBO.
They know this before, during and after ,commiting these acts of vandalism.
On the more positive side I think that these nicknames will be known to the police and Community Wardens,it's just a matter of proving it!

Busman they are'nt vandals these days! they are "Graffeti artists" and are like the "Joy rider" who steals someones car,given a name to make what they do sound fun and smart!! and if they get charged will get a lighter sentence by the law:(
"Joy riders"are young car stealers and graffeti artists are nasty vandal's to me!:mad:
Stop giving cute names to young people that cause crime!!!:mad:

Re: oak hill memorial
 

I'll just have to learn to live with that Busman mate!!!:)

At long last the listing status of several war memorials including Oak Hill have been raised. It is now listed at Grade II*.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

There's a gap of eleven years between the last two postings. Is this a record ?

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Bring back the stocks at Huncoat

Re: oak hill memorial
 

pointless mate, they wouldn't be allowed to use em.:rolleyes:;)

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Bring back Stocks of Burnley Road! They made great dandelion and burdock.:cool:

Re: oak hill memorial
 

They certainly did and the stone bottles doubled as hot water bottles in the cold weather.

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Stocks = Iron Brew

Re: oak hill memorial
 

I didn't know Stocks made Iron Brew

Re: oak hill memorial
 

Near certain they did mate.;)

Re: oak hill memorial

In tonight's service in Westminster Abbey for the first day of the Battle of the Somme Accrington Pals were mentioned. The Thiepval monument in France where there was a similar service was originally built with brick from Lille but in 1975 it was refaced with Nori brick which I think is very fitting .
