There is one thing which never ceases to amaze me and it is this:

Why can people not understand that we the dwellers within the boundaries of the "and district" area care not only about the town of Accy but about the rest of the "and district" too. The very fact that we do not like to see things which create a negative impression of our borough shows how much we care about it. If we didn't give a tuppenny fig then we would ignore vandalism, litter, graffiti etc.

But then when we post grumbles about these things there are people who see this as us being negative about the place where we live.

If we were negative about the borough we would ignore the bad things. It's because we love (dare I say it?) Hyndburn that we want it to create a good impression for visitors so they will like coming here and not go home making more sarcastic jokes about it being a dump/chav city/poundland paradise/charity shop mecca etc etc etc.
