Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
Because i hate it! I cant stand the place! Its a hole where the small minded thugs live. Its an evil magnet that draws people back here.
Since finding Accyweb and meeting some of you i began to see a sunnier side of accrington, but now, even all you lovely accywebbers dont make up for this putrid town of children brought up to be thugs by their thug parents, racists, saddoes, no hopers and dolies.
I genuinely want to hear about why you like Accrington? Is it just your friends that make this place bearable?

Re: Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
Lol, the evil magnet must have drawn me back then, after twenty years away.
I love it, and the people are the main reason I love it.
Has something happened to make you feel this way?

Sadly there are horrible people and scum everywhere, not just around here. It's really upset me that you've posted this. I hope you are ok. x

Re: Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
Bloody Hell Nell, I can’t really impact on how you feel about the place, for me still living away it is something about the past, it’s part of me and despite been told to leave it behind I still feel part of it.
I think the town has been degraded over the years but I must say that I don’t think it much different from here; we have the thugs, druggies and the like. Ask yourself is the town and its people your unhappy with or is it your lot in life. What do you yourself want out of it.

Re: Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
There are a lot worse places than Accrington. I used to live in Blackburn & moved over here about 5 years ago to live with my (then) girlfriend. When we split up i could have moved back to Blackburn but decided to stay. Most off the people i've met here are genuine & friendly. There are some d*ckheads, but that's the same anywhere.

Re: Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
I've lived in Liverpool, London and Glasgow, as well as Ossy. There are sad, mad and bad arses everywhere, but generally the good people outweigh the bad, and round here it is most defintely weighted towards the good uns.

There are thugs everywhere you go. I don't believe Accrington has the monopoly on them. It reminds me of a story but I'm going to be good and do my best not to waffle tonight because Mimi wants to use the PC in a minute.
There are loads of great things about Accy, one of the best ones is the friendliness of the people. Most people are helpful and will do what they can for others.
Has something happened to you recently Nell to cause you to feel this way?

Re: Tell Me Why You Like Accy?
