Market Hall Refurbishment - Page 84

Your pound comment reminded me of something.

Rhonda and I were in town a while ago, your typical Accy mother, you know baby in a pram eating a Gregs pasty with a baby bottle full of cold tea, was shouting at her slightly older kid was doing nothing but she was to busy discussing JK with her friend. As a punishment if he did not behave she said if he was not good she would not take him to the pound shop

Stop laughing you will hurt yourself

You patronising pig.

That was mummy and me, and it isn't a pram I was sat in. It's a push chair!

Greggs for us is a treat.

I get a pasty each Saturday and Tuesday, as a pacifier, to suck the cheese out of.

I was a good boy, and I did go to the Pound Shop.

I bought a stapler set, shaped like ladybirds.

We went to Blackburn today, had a nice look around the shops popped into a jewellers as the claws on Rhonda's engagement ring need repairing and had a nice lunch in Frankie & Bennys. Then we had to call into Accy to had the pads changed on Rhonda's glasses.

Accrington is so different to Blackburn, I think any council are going to have a massive task trying to sort out both the Market Hall and the town centre. Its not just the place, its the people and unfortunately there is not a lot can be done about that.

Even the staff in the jewellers were less professional

Maybe its a part of Gods greater plan to increase the self esteem of the Ribble Valley types and other 'incomers' , gives them a warm feeling when they look down on the peons.

Why, was the baby in the pram called Peony-Jade?

You are slow today

Was there a queue for the toilets, so had a warm feeling, as you piddled over the balcony in the Market Hall?

Urban Dictionary: peon

Sorry Neil , but I find your original comment offensive " its the people and unfortunately there is not a lot can be done about that". What do you suggest, the implementation of Eugenics ? with statements like that you are comong across as a total prig/pillock ,

Similar to the guy who keeps refering to Rishton as a "village" ... Stanhill is maybe a village , Tottleworth is maybe a village , Huncoat/Altham whichever has a Parish District Coucil is a village ... get my drift, maybe even Knuzden qualifies as a village , but Rishton ? thought the old designation of UDC qualified an urban area as a "mini metropolitan area" ie a town,

just my opinion , feel free to delete if my above comments offend the moderators sense of fairplay or disscusion.
Thanks

Why would I delete your comment? Accrington was full of not very nice people, that is something that is hard to deal with. The sort of people that are happy Accrington has lots of pound and mobile phone shops. I suppose its supply and demand, that is why Accrington town centre will never be like Blackburns. If you want decent shops go to Blackburn or Manchester its as simple as that.

I don't mean to be offensive but unless you have visited Accrington recently and seen what I mean you are not really in an informed position. Personally I hate seeing a group of young people with little kids and babies in prams chatting away, ignoring there children and swearing there heads of. If that makes me what you said then I am fine with that. Personally I think it makes me a decent bloke who knows how to act around my children.

I'm defending no one, but Neil posted there was a difference in the people in the two towns.

He didn't say what the difference was.

I'd say the demographics of both places, being only a few miles apart, were exactly the same. It's just that there are more folks in Blackburn, so it can support more/larger stores.

As an area we do have relatively low average, when it comes to disposable income.

It's doubtful we're ever going to see luxury brand stores line Broadway, instead of the budget stores we do have.

Being pure white trash himself, I didn't take Neil's post as a call to start a local eugenics programme.

P.S. I just read it that he doesn't shop in the town centre very often, which I suspected when he's posted comments about the market, Market Hall etc., and because it's so rare, it all came as a bit of a shock.

If you wanted to discuss further, we could always look back through your old posts, and dissect the disparaging comments about single mothers, living off benefits.

Not that you were looking down your nose at them...of course.

steeljack · 19-02-2011, 09:37

Apologies to Neil , but your quote did come over as a bit extreme.

We know it's Christmas for them.

Do I notice a little back peddling going on?

Do I detect a difference in your posting?

Nah, just me, too simple to work things out.

Back pedalling? Certainly not, I just thought that with all my vile and vicious posts about how the traders are being interfered with I should balance that with something about what good stalls and shops we actually have in Accy.

The town centre is missing a Works, not the Market Hall.
