OK Gayle, ignoring the fact that I did agree with some of them but see nothing spectacular in others, lets add to it in the same vein with:

The viaduct
The roundabout under the viaduct
Asda is being done up
We have a cinema and a bowling alley
We have a McDonald's and a KFC
I get a lovely view of the Coppice from Bullough Park.

I still end up feeling like saying "Whoopie Doo."

If a child was merely "acceptable" when I was at 'Accrington High School For Girls' Miss Horne would have said "Acceptable is not good enough. Acceptable means you are not a failure. It does not mean that you are a success."

I would much rather see HBC meet challenges head on and strive for improvement than wallow in a rose colourd bed of "acceptable" laurels if you'll forgive the mixed metaphors.
