Hollie Steel : will all this be good for her?

All of us from Accrington should be proud of those of our high achievers but, it has to be asked, will all this exposure be good for Hollie Steel?

As a doctor, I worry it may not.

what a very strange thread

Caz · 26-04-2009, 16:04

Where's Lower Micklehurst?

JohnD · 26-04-2009, 16:05

Why strange?

Would you put your 10 year old daughter through this?

flashy · 26-04-2009, 16:07

you say your a doctor?

1...try the 'introduce yourself' section before posting strange threads
2...try writing something on your profile

that might stop us being warey of strange threads cropping up here there and everywhere

It's not "putting her through it" if she wants to do it

JohnD · 26-04-2009, 16:09

Lower Micklehurst is close to Burnley

JohnD...you wouldnt happen to have an X in your surname would you?

I can't really see how its a strange thread, its a link to a blog post which is an analysis of something that is going on currently with someone who is from accrington. Quite relevant to our forum, posted in the correct area, and asking an interesting question. Nothing out of the ordinary there...?

flashy · 26-04-2009, 16:11

yes Roy

Dear, oh Dear. What an odd, parochial comment. Where and why does it say I have to introduce myself before posting a comment? However, here goes.

I was born in Accrington, and my family - on both sides - have lived and worked there for longer than I can trace back. I went to primary school in Accrington. Miss Caufield's if anyone remembers her. The school was off to the right off Abbey Street (as you came down from Manchester Road) but has long been demolished. I lived on Hollins Lane and then on Manchester Road. I grew up playing in Oak Hill Park and occasionally Haworth Park, though I preferred Oak Hill. And sometimes I went to St George's playground. Bet that's been demolished too. And, as a student, I used to work at Calogen Foam. Does that still exist.

Will that do?

Thanks for the incredibly friendly reception!

Disagree,i find it odd in the context of n opening post on the forum.

Dear oh Dear again

Look guys, I'm not trying to **** everyone off. I am from Accrington, and I have looked at this site a few times, but never contributed. However, having written an article on someone from Accrington, it seemed relevant, and it seemed interesting to see what everyone thought locally. Yep, sorry, I missed the perfectly reasonable request to put something on the introduction bit, so I will do that now.

If it makes `em all a bit of brass to escape the doom and gloom that is `accy` then good luck to `em.......if my kids were talented enough and WANTED to do it then i would certainly let them.

For each one that becomes a victim, there are many that don't. Bonnie Langford, Linda Robson, Pauline quirke, the Osmonds, just off the top of my head. Doing it because they want to and not because of pushy parents is the main thing.
