And, no, it's not a sign of the times. If it was, every town market would be a shadow of its former self and that is not the case. Go and take a look at Bury market - it's everything that Accrington market should be but isn't. The present problems of Accy market are caused by successive councils meddling with one of the main assets of the town.  |
Our generation is spoiled Restless -if you were hungry you would have eaten it- it's also about habit and what was available...aso how much families had to spend - Try telling familes on benefits to save money by eating tripe these days
