Mundane pictures of the North

Worst 'wine bar' ever:hmm: I bet they recommend Blossom Hill for a classy function.
they do home made salad and quiche for a quid, seem really friendly (going by the fellas sitting outside whenever i've gone past), have been there for donkeys, and i look forward to sampling their wares and pool table :)

That's an absolute bargain! *jets off to Leeds*
 
it's one of the few non-offy boozeserving places in quite a large radius (this area was once a temperance zone). it's just at the side of the main road, with a few other shops. everything's discount centre in this bit - you need to go a bit further up the road to get things like a Proper Butcher, Bespoke Underwear and lots of Handmade-Designer-Soap-And-Things type shops :)
 
I thought it looked in a very odd location. It looks like its in a discount centre car park - not exactly classy. :D

I now yearn to go for £1 pastry based delights. And alcohol:cool: Best Place Ever. I am easily swayed. Have you ever been to Ramsbottom? Brilliant bar/tapas place but with such a complicated array of 'offers' that you still wake a year later thinking that you should have gone for the four tapas and a bottle of wine option rather than the buy one tapas get one free because it has taken you a year to work out the price difference.

I might have been in once, if it was.
how might you have found it if you did? :D
(and yeah, it's chapeltown road. about a mile or so further up is the far more civilised chapel allerton - or chapel aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! - fonz stylee, with the thumbsup - as i like to call it, just to piss off my mates who've just moved up there)

Grange Over Sands nearish to Morecambe is that rare place, a fairy large gentrified Victorian town but with only one pub! And that one pub is Not All That. It does have the best bakery ever. A fiver makes you put on two stone. FIVE different types of vegetarian and vegan pasties- and rum ba-bas (swoons)

oh god. i stayed at a youth centre called Castle Head up there when i was eleven, on a school holiday. i think it's been closed down since for health and safety violations, but i'm not sure :hmm:
e2a: nah, my old schoolmate lied to me :D it's still going - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Head_Field_Centre
i still remember the ghost story about john wilkinson.

i would like to go back there :) even more so now you've mentioned the bakery.

i've not been around that long - i will ask though :)

You can buy dinner, I can't find that quid I had earlier...
chips from the second best chippy in leeds it is then. salt and vinegar? :p

I remember Hyde Park area being called the dry square mile as it was built by temperance fanatics so no pubs allowed. It did make it slightly weird as pubs are so much a part of the fixtures and fittings.

Nom. I like the way even though it looks dead posh, everything is well under two quid. I bought a cheese and onion pasty in ambleside and it was about four quid. I died a little inside and ate the bag too.
