Except for the fact we don't have a maternity ward in Accrington anymore.

Seeing as they are moving maternity to Burnley all your offspring will now have Burnley on their birth certificates. I for one find this quite funny. All the Blackburn Rovers supporters will be really happy to have Burnley on their babies birth certificates

Gary, you were born at Bramley Meade (before it became a house, which I have been in and it is an amazing place). What does your birth certificate say? No not the gender, your birth place

It will be complicated for genealogists in the future trying to work out where their ancestors lived from their place of birth.

It says Whalley on my birth certificate, which cheats me a little, because I have Oswaldtwistle running through my blood.

The letter's page of this weekend's Observer is weighted in favour of not changing the name of the borough.

I voted to leave well alone, no way is the cost worth the change.

Britcliffe uses his column in this week's Observer to comment on the cost of the Olympic logo being too expensive.

Kettle, pot, and black all jump to mind.

People in glass houses should watch who they are chucking stones at.

People on here may be surprised, but I am not bothered one way or the other, I'll go with the flow as it doesnt really Affect me. However, some of you may remember that I did write to the Obserer last year the gist of which was just add Hyndburn to the postal address i. e. my address would be Mallard Place, Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Hyndburn, Lancashire, to me thats the easiest and cheapest way of getting Hyndburn known

panther · 31-01-2008, 10:31

with my address i just put :

(street name)
oswaldtwistle,
lancashire
BB5 ...

I dont agree with putting accrington, because i live in OSSY!!...its it's own town
plus its confusing because there is already a few streets the same as mine in accy

as for hyndburn, iv never put that or said i live in hyndburn

Thats how I put my address at the moment, no need for anything else providing you use the post code, but what I was saying was that adding Accrington, Hyndburn, would solve the problem of getting Hyndburn known withot involving huge costs, and expensive name changes

That's a very practical solution Jaysay. If you look at addresses in Rossendale, they all include Rossendale as part of it. Very sensible.

Loos like we've made a good start on my return to AW, we seem to agree. The comparison with Rossendale was the reasoning behind what I said, as i used to live down the Valley and my address was Haslinden, Rossendale, Lancashire, so it seemed common sense to me

I was born here and have always used the word Accrington never Hyndburn in any event Hyndburn Stanley just dosn't sound right

No one's suggesting the football club's name would change! What's your point?
