Campaign for the Arndale Clock to be reinstalled

Bee · 05-07-2011, 18:47

Hi all

How'bout we get up a campaign for the clock to be reinstalled somewhere in Accrington and get it to the Observer just before Friday 8th July.

Remember the campaign we set up in 2004, we saved the clock and made it to the front page of the Observer!

So why don't we set up a new campaign to have it reinstalled somewhere in Accy!.

Margaret you have to understand Bee is getting very desperate now, maybe he needs a long holiday to refresh that search engine at his fingertips

A better idea would be to stick that Gladys on a pole in Broadway, then he/she could shout out the time, and point out which shops have closed.

Hey Bee...am I right in thinking you're still in Japan?

If so and if we can't save the clock - what about exporting it to Japan? It could be stuck up next door to the old nuclear power plant that exploded a few months ago after the big wave came in.

It could even have a plaque on it...'Presented to the people of Japan, by Councillor Peter Britcliffe, with fraternal greetings from another disaster area'.

You never know, Accy could get a Su Doku car plant in return.

Get on to it, Bee.

Sorry -had to vote "no", i never liked it particularly... surely it must have some value -either auctioned off or just as scrap if no-one wants to buy it.

Obviously if mobertol says he didn't like it, not EVERYONE liked it.

Almost 50% of the poll you started seems to indicate that not EVERYONE liked it.

I liked it, but I don't think it has a hope in hell of ever getting restored or put anywhere now that you have attached yourself to the cause.

P.S. I doubt very much that it was made of bronze.

Nice to see you have got that subtle touch when it comes to answering our Bee Less

The least of Accrington centre's problems at the moment is the continued existence of some soddin' old clock. Scrap it and forget about it!

Just to set the record straight Less-I am "she"! Is my username too masculine? (Probably as it's from our e-mail address which uses my husbands name! Ive always used it as i have a rotten memory for usernames and passwords...mind you if i used my own name it would be Dibertol which looks a bit like some kind of medication....)

As to the Arndale clock -i remember taking my son to see it the first time we were over in Accy after the new Arndale centre had opened and he howled and thought it was scary -perhaps if he saw it now as a 23 yr old he'd like it ...but i still dn't -sorry Bee!
