Is this what AccyWeb is going to turn into?
An almost 70 post long thread wonder and bitching session. Maybe if you gents tried sleeping you would not be so cranky.
Hopefully a moderator will come along and delete all this drivel so the original thread can continue.

The first memory I have of Accy is watching the Sacred Heart procession. I was standing with my mum opposite the church, I must have been about 2 years old, and I saw a group of nuns line up, with their backs to us, on the grass beside the church. I can remember shouting out, very excitedly, "Look, Mummy, black ghosts".
My second memory is watching the Accrington Trades Carnival, in about 1947. There was a lorry from Rishy Crisps and they were throwing bags of crisps to the crowds. I caught one and my mother made me share them with the little boy who was with us, with his mum, (I think his name was David but I can't remember who he was). I was not best pleased.
My most abiding memory is the Market. I used to go there nearly every Saturday, from about the age of 9 (alone - you could, then), to wander about and spend my pocket money. In my teens I used to go to a stall that sold Ladies clothes and I could buy lovely tops for 19/6 (about 95p) and nylon stockings for 1/11 (9p). I was OK because up to leaving school, aged 16, I got 10/- a week (50p) from my dad - quite a tidy sum in those days.

I remember going to the market, WestEnder - you could get stockings for 1/- as well. It was safe in those days - I was allowed to go to the pictures on my own at about 10, in those happy days when the Palladium and the Empire had two different pictures a week. I think the Queens Hall (later the Tudor) only had one, but it meant you could go five times in a week and never see the same film twice - and it was cheap!
