Take no notice Leon, i think it's a hormone thing with him, he's at that age (think he's going through the change)

There is always a funding issue with AccyWeb. I wonder, who are the right people? P.M. the Admin (Mick) with any offers you may have.

Don't think that will happen, no stranger will be given figures like that. after all, We don't know who your 'We' is.

Somehow the title Hyndburn B.C. with AccyWeb doesn't have the right ring to it.

I'm confused. Why are Accy Christmas Lights on the 24th/November ? Surely Christmas does not begin until a month later and then lasts for twelve days? Why then in Accy on only one day and only for three hours? And why in November? Is this some sort of austerity measure combined with a joint celebration for last months end of Ramadan? And why is Less being daft? Was there free beer in the Railway this afternoon?

I wouldn't open my front door to watch owt like that. If its supposed to aid local shop keepers why don't the councill sell the light off, and reduce the rents for these shops and stalls.
People have only so much money to spend, and a few fairy lights and some head bangers on guitars and drums won't make them spend what they have'nt got.

All the above seems just like below.

Leon good for you and thanks for offering your services - It's great to see all the families in Accrington enjoying the lights switch on and no matter what you do to there will always be some people who want to have a dig and find fault with people who are trying to do something positive for the community

As it was he could have just said, the date is such and such...

No, he had to tell us he's doing a wonderful job.

O.K. I expect more tsk, you should know better, however I maintain he is full of self glorification, he isn't doing it for us, he's after his own end's.
I repeat, anyone doing the job for no gratification would not mention it in the first post.
The rest of you, call me as much as you may.
