So, Hebden Bridge. Coolest place to live in Britain

[Shirl]

So why don't you all live here?

 

[The Boy]

I visited it last summer. Seems a nice place, but I don't own a pair of waders.

 

[machine cat]

I live a few hills away, and am there quite often.

If it wasn't so prone to flooding i'd live there.

Fyi: bromley is in east london

 

[A. Spies]

Because it's full of rich idiots who've moved up from London driving up house prices, none of us from nearby want to or can afford to move there.

I think I would be very happy if I lived in Truro. And fat, as they have an ace fish & chip shop.

No longer in fishponds?

I remember seeing a documentary about how hebden bridge as rife with drug and alcohol addiction and had had a high number of drug related deaths amongst younger people. You tend to see a lot of people drinking in the park as well, and not just kids.

Isn't Hebden bridge supposed to be the Lesbian capital of the U.K.? I should point out I'm not trying to offend anyone my entire knowledge of Hebden Bridge comes from the BBC.

I'm bloody not

I think Stockport has only made it into that list because the SK postcode also covers Wilmslow, Buxton and Alderley Edge.

 

[DrRingDing]

What criteria makes a place 'happy'?

He's talking about the one by Bow.

Huddersfield, you?

The canal walk is doable with a pushchair, as long as it's dry.

Sowerby Bridge.

I like Huddersfield! Don't go there much and not really sure why tbh because it's great!

Nice one - we'd only go if it's dry anyway. We went to Hollingworth Lake a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely!

The walk along the canal from Sowerby to Elland is quite nice too.

I grew up in Greetland, so pretty familiar with the calder valley.

One of the rumours that Hebden got a lot of press coverage in the floods (more than other places esp oop north) is because a shed load of BBCers have moved there since they relocated to Manchester.
It's about the most middle class place I can think of.

No South West London (inner) seems to have escaped the list (Brixton :thumbs ).

Its also cover Tameside.

You going to the Beer Festival or just stay in and be unhappy?

My kids have just spent a week in Hebden Bridge at the grandparents. It's going to take me at least that long to knock that silly way of talking out of them again let alone get the tie dye out of their clothes

I love the names around Calderdale. Mankin Holes and Lumbutts being two favs.

 

[Voley]

Christ. How wanky is that?

 

[purenarcotic]

Heh, I grew up in Hampton Wick, just 5 min walk from Kingston.

It is quite pretty I have to say.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Super wanky.

 

[friedaweed]

We're so positively chuffed in Cheshire darling
