I go along with everything Margaret has said. Surely there is enough controversy going on in the world today for us to find something to debate about and air our views. I must say though that I find it disappointing when a new thread has been started but disappears very quickly.

Taddy, to answer your question ‘on what?’may I respectfully suggest, as Margaret has done, that you look back through General Chat for instance and read the very diverse subjects that were discussed a few years ago. I joined in 2009 and I remember many of the good discussions, debates, arguments, call than what you will. There were also some real characters who made their mark on Accrington Web in those days but are sadly no longer with us. Very much missed.

There were some controversial figures as well, I seem to recall a couple of religious contributors (I won’t call them nutters, but....) who had weird and wonderful ideas. Made for interesting arguments. So Taddy while you are watching your potatoes grow and having a pint or two of your favourite tipple, there’s a bit of reading there for you. You’ll find it interesting to say the least and it might give you some idea of what was and what could be again.....

....so let’s all put our thinking caps on and bring some life back into the site. There has to be something we can discuss.
