I´ve lived in Mallorca for 8 years. I am sick to the back teeth of daft scouse accents. And why is it that everyone thinks that Accrington is in Yorkshire. You just get it on your holidays. I´m stuck with it year round. I don´t think that they´ve ever seen a map south of Birmingham.

Have you?  I don't think you'll find Accrington south of Birmingham.     ;)

Re: Accrington
 

No, but those people who are from south of Birmingham don´t seem to have a clue as to where Accrington is.

Re: Accrington
 

Where exactly is accrington anyway?  ;D ;D :D ;) [smiley=smile.gif]

No, but seriously it's not possible to know where all the towns in the UK are. I have big brain power as you should know from my name and I don't even know where Redruth is.

Re: Accrington
 

Redruth is just south of saturn i think ???

Re: Accrington
 

Redruth is definately down south. It is not as good as Accrington. So if you asked me where Redruth is I can tell you and Accrington as well.

The worst of the lot are the Yankies. If you say you're from England they ask you, "oh, do you know such and such a body from London".
derhhhh????
England's not a blooming village you know.

Re: Accrington
 

Isnt Redruth buried at Aintree Race course??  [smiley=silly.gif]

Re: Accrington
 

Went to a tiny Greek Island a couple of years ago. Agistri, only a few hundred inhabitants. One of the old Greek fellas asked where I was from. When I replied Accrington, he said 'Aaaahhh, Accrington Stanleeeee'
Is nowhere safe?????
