Accrington Carnival
 

Its on June 18th which is a week this Saturday, why hasn't anything been said anywhere about it? Other than the one banner I've seen and a bit in the Observer saying that Cain Dingle will be there, there's been nothing...can anyone tell us about whats going to be on, what time it starts and the route it is taking this year

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

This the route taken from the Accrington Lions website

Starting on Thorneyholme Rd

Procession Route:- Oueens Road, left on to Whalley Road, straight on through traffic lights at East Gate/Castle Street junction, continue on Whalley Road passing the Mayoral viewing podium into Abbey Street to traffic lights at Eastgate, carry on straight through traffic lights onto Plantation Street, turn left onto Park Street which is the dispersal area.

Thankyou Dave

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

apparently, something like....

Thorneyholme Rd, Queens Road, Whalley Road, Abbey Street, Plantation street... 'stuff' going on at the start on Thorneyholme and at the end at the college I think.

This may help?? Welcome to Accrington Lions

hmmmm - don't think that's turned into a link but you can type it in if it doesn't when I press send!! lol (bit rubbish at this technical malarky!)

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Mmmmmmmmmm Cain dingle!!! hahahaha!!! :D

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

I can't see what the attraction is about Cain Dingle(Jeff Hordley)...he always looks like he could do with a good wash with a big chunk of Carbolic soap.......designer stubble my bum(Jim Royle - modified for the family forum)

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Thats just it a bit of rough and ready Marg!!!
He does look better in real life than on Emmerdale

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Yes Heth...not my style at all........I'm not keen on anything that is rough....ready? Perhaps :)

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Change of Dingle for Saturday, it's now Chastity

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Probably cos he can't find Accrington.:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

The evidence from an outsider in today's paper suggests it wasn't classy enough for him :)

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

She is aware it's carnival not carnal ? Seeing as how spelling isn't so highly rated in Dingleland. ;) :rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

I think it says more that Accrington bring in a Dingle as a celebrity, clearly none round here :rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

ouch !!! :D

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Can i just ask when this was sorted? Before or after the demise of P.B.? my moneys on before, cos can see the similarity between Dingles n Him.:D

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

Wonder if he had an advance copy of the Stuart Maconie book:D

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

He was in quite a few of the plays the other season, at the Bolton Octagon, which I saw with Lettie and Sparkologist.

He's a very good actor, and nothing like the thugish Cain.

He was in one of the best plays I've ever seen, And Did Those Feet, which received a standing ovation, and not one dry eye in the house.

Although I think Sparkologist claimed he had a bit of hay fever.

:D

Re: Accrington Carnival
 

I'm sure he is a good actor G....but lots of women seem to lust after him(well, according to Loose Women)....he certainly doesn't float my boat. I like my men a bit more.....erm...... groomed and smooth looking, suave, sophisticated. Come back Cary Grant(or at least that style).
