Naughty, Naughty
Reedley is next to Burnley
For my sins I was born in Brierfield
Was a great place to be brought up in and now I live in Barrowford and reminds me of how Brierfield used to be where everybody knows each other and says "Hello" when passing
So I'm not sure if I am a Dingle?

Re: local accents
A friend I have in darwen who said I said Down and Town different to him... I don't know how to type the difference in sound though... just that he said the OW sound 'properly' lol. I notice the difference and it is definitely different in Accy to Darwen. Burnley accent is easy to spot I agree.
Apparently I have lost my prominent Accy accent, perhaps that is due to going to uni (?)
