keep imagineing she is not from there :D
 
I have been living abroad for the last 21 years and every time i go back ( about every 2 years ) i slip back in to the old life and am accepted straight away.
 
I officially live in Blackburn, and I get a warm welcome in Accy, and I prefer it much more than Blackburn.
 
The warm welcome we got then we moved here was one of the resons we stayed
allways helpfull too :D
 
Its smaller and I find smaller places are better. especialy for bringing up kids. I ahve lived in blackburn and for the most part Preston and Accy beats both easy.

I agree with this whole hartedly :D
 
Me too. Lived in Blackburn for 8 years, was glad to come home to Accy. Was in Blackburn the other day. It just doesn't have Accy's friendly atmosphere.

And never mind our bustation, their set up's a nightmare
 
When I lived in Black burn (25 yrs ago for maybe 2 or 3 years) It used to stink in the town center on a hot day..of hops or whatever the breweries used.

I remember that!
Also used to live in Little Harwood further up than the Matthew Brown brewery, it was the same up there. Think that one's now closed though, not sure.   And Thwaites in the centre doesn't seem anywhere near as bad, but you can still smell it sometimes.
 
We lived in Blackburn for a while. Stayed with friends just before move here.
It`s a nasty smelly hole that thinks erecting stupid statues a priority over much needed hospital beds.
 
Who put that big 60 foot button on the front of blackburn cathederal... that was clever wasnt it ...
 
When I left home at 16 I lived all over the country (Even on the wrong side of the Pennines).  In seven years my accent had changed that much that people thought I was a scouser.
 
Lived in Accy all my life, have relatives all over the country and they have always been made welcome when they have visited here. They think it is so friendly here that a couple of cousins are considering moving here. Work in Blackburn, and have to agree that it is a smelly sh*thole. [smiley=pain30.gif]

And here's me thinking it was a giant frisbee! [smiley=lol.gif]
 
my fiance has moved from manchester 2 years ago and still gets funny looks, hes harmless, but i understand what you mean, sme people can detect it!
 
Never had that problem.NMoved to Accy from Bradford when i was 10.After having the p**s taken out of my accent i was accepted by everybody.Thats because as far as i am concerned the people of Accrington are the most warm hearted of them all
 
I live in Clayton and I have been accepted by all the locals,most of em know me,I can go to most pubs in the area and everyone is friendly towards me,dunno if its because I'm a 6' 4" skinhead but I genuinely have had No probs from the locals,friendliest bunch of people I have ever met
