But who will drive the truck?

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

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

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.

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

Or possibly even more depressing?

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.
