Dress fancy and wear slippery shoes. Be prepared to find your hips.
As an ex resident of Cleckheaton I thought it might be good to visit the Cleckheaton Farmers Market you advertise only to find it’s nowhere near Cleckheaton but in Huddersfield. How very disappointing for all concerned in Cleckheaton. Huddersfield is still getting the best of everything it seems.
