But who will drive the truck?

[Wg Cdr Luddite]

I think I've dated a couple of that lot.

[Jeremy]

But who will drive the truck?

You see? It’s with Stone Age mentality like that that you will never be a BUM!

[Count Belisarius]

For which I am eternally grateful....

Don't let them try crossing the border at night. I've done the Hebden Bridge to Burnley trip and that's vampire country. Still some of that lot look a lot like the independent ladies who live in Hebden.

As Roger's Profanisaurus would put it "the last bus to Hebden Bridge".
I've been there. It's true.

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Is that like "the last plane out of Stalingrad"?

Or possibly even more depressing?

[Buff Orpington]

Hebden Bridge, like most other locations round there, was a mill town. These days it is full of interesting independent cafes and some rather chi-chi shops, It sounds like a local authorities renewal dream but sometimes feels a bit weird against the background of workers' terraces and Methodist churches. It exerts a rather inexplicable draw for the LGBT crowd. I blame the late Derek Bridges, the renowned flower arranger.

HB is a really odd place. I went there with the boys for scout camp etc, and the pubs were... really odd.
