Re: Twin town
Thought Accy was going to be twind with Blackburn??
 Oh sorry Blackburns going to swallow Accy.  If it was up to PB to pick a town to be twined with we would be waiting for ever so if it was a footy daft town then I am sure they can find one in South America that will be perfect.

Re: Twin town
how can Timbuktu be 'twinned' with five other places. Is it not 'sextupleted'?

Re: Twin town
Weren't we twinned with some friggin french town in the 70s? I seem to remember the council spending loads of money on some trips and them coming here with cheese and wine, loads of froggies all over the place.

Re: Twin town
Rossendale is twinned with Bocholt in Germany. They come over here and people go over there. Every year kids from one of the high schools do an exchange visit with kids over there. Everyone has a good time. My sis went once on the visit.

Re: Twin town
No it isnt - it gets decorated by people celebrating birthdays etc or an artist does it. Its a focal point in Rawtenstall and also a talking point. You leave bocholt tree alone!
