Went to school/sixth form in Clitheroe at the grammar school. Guess thats why i feel at home in sheffield, bloody hills!

one day ill move back , the rollinghills of lincolnshire are nothing to shout about

ive got very fond memories of lancashire , all i can think of in lincs is all the old gits - and all the gits from london buying all the property

Haha, Yorkshire feels just the same as home. Went to Leeds uni for a bit and that was the same. I never want to live anywhere where i can't get to the top of a hill within 20 mins.
Probably sounds pretty insane, but living in London would slowly kill me inside i think.
Its nice sometimes just to get somewhere with a great view and relax, and know that nobody is within a 250m radius of you.
Not saying where i live is perfect tho, i have a secret plot to burn Padiham to the ground......doh!

so what have you to say about the political strife that is keeping burnley in the headlines

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Sun May 09, 2004 11:24 pm

I'll always remember when the BNP got their first two seats, the Burnley Express quoted them as saying "Our priority locally is to get the pakis out" whilst touring in a converted frozen meat van.

Now that is what i would refer to as "****ing appaling".

My friend Helen makes it her mission to campaign against them, whilst at one of their town center rallies my best mate distracted the audience by doing football tricks.

yes , most of the BNP are actually racist facists - so god help ya if they manage to do away with law and order ! Of cours e grandma and grandad have different things to say about it

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Sun May 09, 2004 11:44 pm

Grandma and grandad generally do, such was the attitude when they were younger, before getting "set in their ways", otherwise known as ignoring logic.

Still, think most of the shady voting comes from the same group that thinks "hey lets trash our own town centre" after a game of football with Blackburn rovers.

well , slaughtering there own animals in the back yard is something that is talked about a lot - it doesnt happen nowadays - its a point everybody should remember , things always change and so should your attitudes although muslims can paint there mosques roofs gold - while normal people get taken to courst by the council if they have anything more than normal roof tiles , and thats planning permission for ya

Burnley can't be trusted for anything planning related. There was an old church+grounds given to the counsel on the condition that it should be used as a "place for quiet relaxation". Now its a multistorey?!

Thankfully, despite my address, i live in the Ribble valley, not burnley by a few meters, so am not influenced as baddly by their stupidity. (and higher counsel tax)
