Right, got him.

Sithee:
There has been a great deal of regeneration activity and Todmorden is now increasingly a commuter town for people working in Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and smaller towns.

[DJHawkes]

Tod has a high school? My mum went to Castle Hill and they lived up at Cross Stone, my grandmother lived at Durn before she married (golf course then and now! ) and grandad lived at cross gap farm on cross stone road.

I used to go boozing near Tod when I lived in Udders. Can't remember the name of the pub tho. Stayed open late because it served pie and peas and had a restaurant licence.

I was evacuated to Mythomroyd during the war. Believe it or not but I lost my Yorkshire accent while I was there.I was placed with a quite wealthy family.
It soon returned when I went back home.

I must have missed that Dot, we went through there yesrday through the road works to Riggs Garden Centre, it was Wet but Snow?? have you been on the wine?

[DJHawkes]

TWR the traffic through there was ridiculous on Saturday afternoon, it was thundering and lightening and sleating and snowing between 4.15 and 5.35 whilst we sat in my cousin's car waiting for the AA man to get from Halifax to us, we were on the Burnley road just past cross lea road. I'd broken down on the way in saturday morning , the car just cut out. I managed to pull up in the driveway of a house and the man came out to help. Turns out he had the same surname as the cousin i was meeting and this chaps dad and my cousin were at the same school. bizarre!
