Apperley Bridge sounds a bit fruity.

In Yorkshire the "cakes" from the chip shop are delicious - two slices of potato with a bit of fish in between, battered then deep fried. Rarely, if ever, seen em in t'South. I had one somewhere around Glasgow once a few years back though. Fish has to be skinless haddock and fried until the...

Most amusing thread I've read in a long time. Beats most of the recent jokes on the "Forum Jokes" thread.

The barbers I use spends much more time if there is no-one else waiting so their prices would be more expensive "off peak".

Sounds like you don't want tourists. What was all that on the news about too many cars parking near Snowdon and all getting ticketed. I guess that was fake news. There's a similar attitude to tourism in Cornwall from the some of the locals which is also off-putting. Probably for a different...

Some places seem to think "All Day Breakfast" is a synonym for "Full English* Breakfast" *Other National breakfasts may be available

Who can afford to waste good eggs these days?

Summers in Bradford must have changed since I grew up and moved away :)

Yes, no contest these days. I wouldn't disagree!

Feet stuck to the Flying Scotsman carpet a few times. Last time I visited (pre-lockdown) it was the Scottish Stores serving some decent real ales. Most expensive station pints I've had Parcel Yard (Kings Cross), Signal Box (Euston) and Beer House (Manchester) - all over £6/pint also pre...

Round here, most pubs have priced themselves out of the market for me (with the exception of a few chains). Lunchtime you want something quick and cheap - not a £15/20+ gourmet burger with brioche bun and triple cooked chips. Give me a decent caf any day over global corporate coffee and muffin...

Didn't the Aire valley lines do this at one time? Bradford-Ilkley-Leeds-Skipton-Bradford or something like that?

It should be treated as a resignation and result in a by-election. I suspect in this case if the same person was chosen as the Labour candidate in a by-election, he would be successfully re-elected as the apparent reasons for electing a Tory MP in that constituency has been achieved. However...

Tip 1: My action of choice was to leave the kids at home and travel solo. Tip 2: Get a smaller child conveyance device that CAN be folded rather than blocking the vestibule.

And the return service from Morecambe at 1217 (note G) Yes it does, as mentioned in the original post

Also there was a Sunday service (maybe up to 2017) from Lancaster to Leeds via Morecambe which called at Bare Lane twice, plus a similar service Monday-Friday

It was a joke. I assumed the whole thread was not meant to be serious and wanted to join in.

Have you considered complaining to the school involved as a starting point?

My mother aged 83 is by no means a railway enthusiast - I doubt she'd even notice the difference between a steam and a diesel loco - but she does enjoy documentaries about railways and transport, particularly those involving Tim Dunn as he is always so enthusiastic about the subject. If the...
