When was the first Kebab House in Accrington!
I don't recall kebabs being available in Accy in the 70's - when did they first come available in town?

You cannot be serious! Who the hell cares as to when the first dog food in a bun shop opened in Accy? The only question should be 'When do we get rid of the last one?'

I remember when first went to London in late 70's that there was a Kebab house on every street nearly and when I came back to Accy there weren't any - same with black cabs at that time! Now they even have black cabs in Accy!

Can't say I've felt the urge for one for ages.

More precisely, 2004.
