Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on our experiences in the big smoke. For me London was a less racially tolerant place than Hyndburn, parts of which you took your life in your hands if you made eye contact with someone who thought you shouldn't be in their Manor.

By the way, my train passed your coach, when I was moving to London, just outside Hemel Hempstead. I'd have thought I was rich if I'd have had a fiver in my pocket. All I had was a sunny personality, and a dream in my heart.

It's nice to meet a Tory boy like you, who followed Tebbit's advice.
Coach/bike, whatever.
Jolly well done you.

Re: Hyndburn lovely...Official
In the 1940's a west Indian doctor lived on Hornby St. He was a rare sight, maybe the only negro in town. I never heard any racist comment about him. Come to think of it I dont recollect any racism heard against negroes who have come since him perhaps it's because they arent very numerous. There are some people who resent the large influx of asians which started when Idi Amin drove them out of Uganda. They really were coming in droves!!. At that time I was a social security visiting officer in Blackburn and spent 6 months putting no-one else but them 'on the books'. It did really seem like invasion and was bound to cause resentment. Vietnam refugees and Hungarian refugees - I've visited them all. It has been when they have arrived in volume that there has been some racism/resentment

Rubbish, there are Afro-Caribean people in Hyndburn, just not many. There are large black communities in Preston and Manchester. Historically the people who came to Hyndburn came to work in the mills here, many of whom had experience working in the textile industry.
Are we racist because there isn't a large Jewish community here?

Re: Hyndburn lovely...Official
Racism might well be alive in Accrington but I don’t think I’ve seen it on Accyweb. There are those who might have an opinion in respect of those from other parts of the world who come over and complain about rights and the like, but having an opinion isn’t necessarily being racist. Play fair and abide by the law and I don’t care what colour or culture you come from. Further more, white, black, Brown or any other colour you'll be welcome at my table as long as your not a frog.
