You're thinking of Eccles.

No. Pontefract Cakes.

I lived in Snaith around a decade ago - calls itself a town but is really more like a large village.

Couple of decent pubs, decent-ish co-op and a couple of takeaways.
Has a train station but only gets one train a day - but Selby & Goole train stations are only 10 mins away and Doncaster a little further.

I would definitely consider moving back there if I was working in Ponte.


Edit:
House budget fits too:

Wentworth looks a bit nicer, but you'd need a ride-on mower for the gardening.....

I wonder if our alt-right collective will bang on about them...

You dug a thread up about living in West Yorkshire to raise awareness about sex trafficking in Surrey? You are a complete oddball.

Diver - I know you like doing it under the bed, but it's fierce uncomfortable...

Looks like you'd want to avoid Rotherham....

depressing, chavvy and lots of EU migrants working in the warehouses (replaced the pits).

Left behind places really.

Sounded nicer in the early 90s, according to the filthy young filly I was involved with at the time.

Jeez, what depressing lives some of you lead,choosing between the least tulip chav/immigrant cess pools up in the wastelands of northern england.

Rather than the huge immigrant cess pool called El Vibrante?

To be honest, with the A1/M62 you can get there from anywhere in no- time.

I think Daryl Powell (Castleford tigers coach) lives in near Wetherby as I saw him in the Sainsburys here.

edit: just checked and wikipedia says he lives in Badsworth

Well I'm mostly in Copenhagen, few days a month in UK, this being one of them.

Last time I worked near London about a year ago, I worked in Farnborough, lived in Aldershot, both chav/immigrant pools in the wastelands of Southern England so what's the difference....?

In fact it was far worse, at least in the North really poor people can find a place to live, down there I saw Nepali Gurkhas Miss Lumley championed to stay living in 8 hr shifts in rooms in houses, I was speaking to the (mostly Northern) chaps doing the house conversions, 8 hrs sleep in it, 8 hrs working (if job), 8 hrs wandering around. The chaps pointed them out to me, 22:00 from the pub window near Morrisons we saw a batch of them with shopping going to 'the' house for their 8 hr shift of being able to live in it until 6:00am and then you'd see them wandering off to Fannyboro in the morning to sit in the so-called shopping centre for the rest of the day...

Not quite that bad as I'm staying in Harpenden which is nice, with some very nice attractions.

Was in that hotel on the island last night, Waterton Hall? Really nice, great food, shiit road to it though...

Heath is ok looking too, another nice boozer with decent food, the Kings Arms....

Been there for a few weddings. When I was between marriages and staying with my mum for a while the car park near the Kings Arms was my preferred romantic spot, until someone shone a torch in the window!! Didn't know it was a dogging location!!!!

Dire as in depressing, dangerous, chavvy?
