Re: Whats happened to Accrington????
If you are prepared to "root" for bargains the Littlewoods catalogue outlet in Burnley can be a goldmine, I got 2 designer dresses, a pair of Hush Puppies and a pair of Kickers for less than £50 last week.

Everything... everything is sticky. How is that even possible?
The sound is always rubbish, the picture is rubbish, the seats are broken, it's always freezing cold and a lot of decent films don't even appear there. No ta!

Well, I never saw anything of this .. course was dark.
It was warm, seats wide and comfy, sound was not penetrating my ear drums from all directions, and the films always come around in the end ... just not as many units that cinemas have in larger towns.
Guess cinema seats may always be sticky these days 'cause of the popcorn, but didn't particularly notice this myself.

totaly agree , burnley has a much more easy going atmosphere and its a nice change been in a pub where it dosnt look liek somthings going to kick off because somones wearing the same tracksuit
you need to wipe yoru feet coming out of most of teh pubs in accy which is a shame for a town that used to attract peopel from all over , especially sunday nights but trouble makers put people off coming to accy and all that was left was the trouble makers and pubs started either going down hill fast or shutting
