Hi all, Did anyone else see a fireball over Accrington tonight? I thought it was a firework at first but realised it couldn't have been, it was way to big. It was heading North and going quite slow and low down. Seemed to to be breaking up with smaller bits coming off it. Pretty impressive...

Warner Street is almost 1 of a kind, there are very few places like it anywhere. It's almost a little village in its own right. Its always sad to see businesses fold but looking at the street the other day there arent many empty shops. Several new businesses have come in recently. The old guard...

Don't know about the coppice but there is or was some sort of air shelter/building near the top of Hambledon. Remember going up there loads of times when i was younger. Made out of brick and buried in the ground. Maybe it was something to do with the dummy airfield that was built up there during...

I go to Elite on a regular basis and although some of the tables are showing wear and tear its still a good alround place, plus the beer is cheapish! I always walk around by the police station not down on to Black Abbey as its quite dark down there and the risk of getting jumped is higher. The...

Can only be a good thing as far as im concerned. We have had our chip n pin terminal for about 3 mths now and found that about half of the ppl know their pin. It is a new system and ppl need time to adjust, thus the Jan 05 deadline. Whilst the system is still open to fraud (i.e someone gets your...

To late! Most of the "safety vehicles" active on the speed traps are already manned by civilian personnel. If you notice none of the Ford Galaxies used for the traps have blue lights, instead they are orange. Also they can nab you before the portable trap signs due to the camera signs mounted...

I seem to remember a long thread about techzone on warner street a few mths back. Just to let anyone who may be interested, it seems to have either gone or have moved. Good little shop aswell.

Hi everyone, Just wondered if anyone has any pictures or knows where i can find pictures of the above streets? I have looked on Accrington uncovered but found only a modern pic of Bank Street. Warner Street area seems to be a bit of a blank when it comes to people with cameras! My family have...

Brett actually comes from Great Harwood so you should also mention David Dunn I guess!

Paddy the vet out of emmerdale, he is Accy born and bred. Also an actress out of the bill. Called connie in real life, tried to burn down the station and kidnapped some kids and hid the boiler room? You get the picture!

TinTin, Have you tried creating a new boot floppy? If not that should solve it. There is an option in add/remove programs to create a recovery disk/boot disk. A win 98 boot disk installs cd drivers so you can then start up and insert your master cd. Hope this helps!

TinTin, Which version of windows are you running? Do you have a cd from the manufacturer of the pc that you use to restore settings after you have booted from the floppy? Perran

Your existing modem should support the faster service. May need a little tweaking but should be ok. Check the Alcatel website for full spec on your modem.

Been with Zen for 12mths now on a 512k connection. They activated my line within 3 days of receiving my order. I have never had any cause to contact them and have never had a time when I could not connect or had a slow service. If you take time to read the customer service survey on...
