Re: Trees???

Thanks to all for your contributions on this thread, good, bad and genuinely funny. Thank you also, Less, for (I think) accepting my olive branch. Still a bit baffled as to why some people think that an offer of "peace" is somehow being "gobby" and "saying nowt" but I suppose you can't please all the people all the time.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.

Re: Trees???

Further to my post of 21st August I have received the following information from the Baxenden Councillors:-
"The trees were planted by Lancashire County Council as part of the tree campaign that has been running through Lancashire. There have been several complaints about the number of trees, but LCC are not prepared to do anything; they say that not all of the trees will take and that is why so many have been planted."
Hope this is helpful!

Thanks very much for this Judith. It took a while to get here but I got the answer I wanted at last. Many thanks again.

spent the time to read from begining to end, even followed the links and read them.

houseboy asked a question, got flamed off "the usual suspects", surprised,that as a newbie he wasnt put off the site, everyone joined in with the levity, and the answer was found in the end. but usual suspects managed to flex their muscles and put newbie in his place. Also the amount of rules that were "broken", when you actually compare a post to the rules themselves

newbie baiting, of the highest order, and in "my opinion" houseboy well done for not taking the bait completely, and showing a little "decorum" for want of a better word.

if you actually, read it from beginning to end, if the usual suspects, would have just left alone, ignored the thread if they had no answers, within a few posts a new member, and for anything to survive it needs new members, would have had his answer, and thought "what a nice bunch of people", instead he is now possibly thinking "sites ok, but not very welcoming"

we are accrington web, lancashire folk, we are supposed to be friendly and welcoming, its what we are known for and proud of.
i havent seen it anywhere thats says "Welcome to Lanacashire, a place where everyone natters ( then in small print, but only if we dont think your moaning, and we wont get to know you first before we try to unleash our humour on you, and our first impressions of you will be used against you forever)

As for the trees i agree with AW, i much prefer the fells!, but thats not what you asked, but you already have your answer

thats my rant, its not the opener for a discussion, argument, a verbal challenge, i haven't named anyone other than Houseboy, i don't see the point of "answering" to this, although no doubting some will, i won't, this is the last post in this thread i shall make, and therefore accuse me of what you will.

Re: Trees???

So, once again, we have somebody giving us the benefit of their wisdom on how to improve Accyweb, Usually it's a newcomer, but sometimes it's someone like you who's been on for a few years, but has suddenly decided to become a regular poster.

Well, thanks, but no thanks. We're quite happy as we are and we're not going to change because you happen to think we should do. Accyweb may be a hostile, forbidding place to newcomers in your view, but it's funny how we keep seeing fresh faces hopping on board. And we must be doing something right because Accyweb, for all its faults, is one of the most lively, popular local forums in the area. If you don't believe me, go and take a look at the forums for neighbouring towns. Everyone's oh so polite, logical, adult, happy to keep to the subject in hand...and deadly, deadly dull and boring. That's why they have fewer members and fewer posts than us.

So, Daz, as I say, thanks for your advice, but we'll pass this one up!

Woweee, spent the time to read a thread 6 or so pages long, a thread that the starter could have looked up for himself.

Why not spend time apologising to those whose post's you could have read rather than just assuming that any opinion but your's does not deserve fair scrutiny?

Spot on Wyn, Burnley has gone, Blackburn is very quiet and so is Rossendale, there aren't too many sites like this that have visits from over 150 members every day and god knows how many guests. So as you say if somethings right and it ain't broke it don't need fixing, and for those who think it should change there are other websites, go find

Agree other forums are dead/dying frequently, as someone said this place will not suit everyone, well if it don't sod off to somewhere that does suit.
