You all know the 'pay as you go' toilet that was on peel street before the re-development, well I'm sure that it didn't work properly.  The first and only time I used it I was in mid action and the door flew open, much to the delight of several elderly shoppers.

Does anyone remember the old railway that ran behind Accrington Cricket Club's main stand?  I was walking home from my sisters recently in a drunken stupor and tripped over one of the old railway sleepers

Fallen asleep in one or two places. More than once in the old Accy toilets before they used to lock them. [smiley=sleep.gif]

I was on about the ones on Peel Street, thy didn't lock them then. Used to wake up to daylight and sneak out hoping nobody realised. Bit obvious though when you're still wearing skimpy lurex hotpants and thigh high boots! ;D ;D ;D
