Did anyone watch Location location location the other night? According to their studies Burnley is the 19th worst place to live in Britain and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were.
Burnley - Best and Worst Places Live with Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer from Channel4.com/4Homes
I notice the Burnley Express has dedicated it's front page to defending the town's honour - by showing a picture of Towneley Hall.
I don't think things are as bleak as the statistics make out, it's all based on house prices, crime figures, income etc...we have a lot going for us too! Some things that graphs and tables can't describe, like the friendliness of a town's inhabitants.
In fairness they do mention the fact that we are surrounded by great countryside. I don't think anyone should be 'outraged' by the findings of this survey, maybe our council leaders could use it as a kick up the pants for improving things?
...or maybe we should let everyone else believe it's a dump and keep it as our secret? lol
