Where's that?

Bradford is an architectural and culinary gem. Colne is an irredeemable heap.

Bradford is an architectural and culinary gem. Colne is an irredeemable heap.

That makes me laugh. Where did you get the impression I was making a claim of superiority for Colne? I wasn't; I was just making the point that I had reason to drive through Bradford yesterday afternoon and I found it to be a total dump. As for Colne, just when exactly was the last time you were there?

Colne? About a month ago. I suspect that your policy of making no claims of superiority for it is the correct one. It's good that you can laugh though, as a sense of humour must help.

Admittedly it's a few years since I was last in Bradford, but I very much doubt that the things I like about it have changed.

And what. pray tell, brought you from the elysian fields of Bristol all the way to the north and Colne? It wasn't a chippy, was it?

The promise of welcoming locals, fine food and civic pride.

Glass houses.

I'm sure there's a village by that name in North Yorkshire

Is it Castleford ?

That's Glasshoughton, where the big 'Xscape' complex is built (on the old colliery/coking works site)

Dragging this back into the daylight

It was cancelled, due to illness (not sure if his, or in the family??)

Rescheduled for this Friday

I found his book ' thank you for the days' a funny, warming read.

Glasshouses is near Pateley Bridge.

I'm from Bradford, - it's twinned with Mordor.

Especially the 'White Sauce' at School chapter
The 'Day I Met Kate Bush' is good too, but he's right, it is expected that she'd have a garden like Narnia

It'lll have smoked that much back in the Inustrial Revolution, up to the 1950s

Damned fine evening

Although rather more singing/guitar playing than I would have liked

The 'Q & A' at the end was very interesting though
I did ask how the heck they ever managed to sneak Fat Harry White past BBC management
