Maybe it will get visitors flocking in to see if it really is as bad as he says.

As said it's a fair representation really.

I was in Sutton Coldfield on Monday. Quite a boring town, nothing to distinguish it from Accrington/Blackburn shops wise however at 11am on a Monday morning I was the only person under 60 who wasn't a mother in her mid 20's-30's pushing a pram, the people of working age were all at work, surely that is the target, if that happens the town will improve dramatically. Until then let's enjoy the cheap houses

Thanks for that.

Not something I watch. Well unless I'm on it.

I thought they showed a fair selection....of chavs.

As for the girl walking down Broadway in her all in one pyjamas, I just loved her!

Accrington looked good.

The people not quite so good.

Those two pit bulls didn't look pallid at all though.

Rindy's fashion tip.

This season we will all be wearing giant baby-grows, in pastel shades, featuring nursery prints.

Ok, perhaps it might just be one or two, at the cutting edge of style, who'll be able to carry this look off, whilst sucking the meat out of a Gregg's sausage roll, whilst sashaying their way to the Maunday Model Village gift shop.

The funniest one was the lad who said the town was full of thugs in trackies, as he stood there wearing his trackies

With his mates behind him, all in trackies, neatly tucked into their socks.

I love Accy, and it's people.

It's like League of Gentlemen - The Next Generation.

We often refer to our shop being in the middle of a TV outside broadcast, Jeremy Kyle Street Version

You can take the lad out of Accrington but can't take Accrington out of the lad

in your case Burnley Dave

The thing about Burnley and as far as I've seen Blackburn the town centre doesn't attract the planks like a moth to light as Accrington Town Centre.

I still maintain the biggest reason for that is an establishment that should be moved to an out of town industrial unit.

garinda · 17-06-2011, 17:45

Thank goodness they got that shot of that big banner.

Reminding us all we have an award winning market hall.

I'm setting off now, on my Saturday shop.

As I think we are going to be overrun with tourists tomorrow.

Make that setting off in an hour.

My new baby-grow's not quiet dry yet.

One thing Burnley has, that Accy doesn't, is a thriving nightlife.
