The west riding is about the only decent pub in Dewsbury town centre. The rest are proper dives.

 

[tufty79]

i like a good dive

Depends. There's dives like the Duncan and then there's dives like big Lil's from yesteryear. Dewsburys pubs are somewhere in between.

I miss Levenshulme

Doesn't realise you were a Northerner

Are you still in Manc?

I'm not. Lived there for a year - moved back to Jockland a fortnight ago.

 

[Firky]

Used to go mountain biking around todmorden many many moons ago

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I'm not. Lived there for a year - moved back to Jockland a fortnight ago.

But I hear from friends in Jockland that they have been having sunshine for the first time since the Ice Age. Global Warming in action indeed - no further proof needed!

As we've now had a picture of a whippet (well done longdog), I think there are some holy grail pictures that everyone has to aim for:

Someone wearing clogs, preferably walking on cobbles;
A bath full of coal
A bath being ridden downhill
A man wearing a cloth cap

I challenge all of you to find these images in real life

*no cheating online now

What about washing strung up on a line across a narrow street of terraces?

A woman beating a mat on the front doorstep?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

What about washing strung up on a line across a narrow street of terraces?

Absolutely, with women in curlers chatting over the back gate.

 

[cyberfairy]

I wanted to take a picture of two men on mobility scooters enjoying a laugh and a Mayfair yesterday but I was a bit too scared.

Isn't mayfair a soft porn mag? They were wanking in the street, sat on mobility scooters and you didn't take a photo! That would have been 100 bonus Northern points!

Have an urge to go to Hebden now. Be a bit shit if we went now though as used to go with a disposable income and get pissed in nice places and buy nice stuff but now we would just shout at the toddler and neck a pint whilst chasing said toddler and working out how much the stressful unrelaxing experience has taken us into the overdraft.

You know your glossy premium porn more than you know your cheap cigarettes. Call yourself a Northerner?
