It is uncanny that you are running this thread because I was donating blood to further enhance the possibilities of medical science when me and the taker got chatting.She was from the other side of Pendle in some backwater baron driftwood village untouched by the ravishes of time and suburbia.
Like us in Rozzendorf they had rushcarts and pagan festivals to ensure a good harvest.
We laughed about the impications of village life and I mentioned I worked in one of the Mythical towns of Royson Vasey or as it's sign says
Welcome to Royston Vasey. You'll never leave.
The leauge of gentlemen was an English black comedy series that premiered in 1999.
The show was set in royston Vasey a fictional town in
northern england
based on Bacup, Lancashire... ; )
It follows the lives of dozens of the bizzare town folk, all of whom are played by the show's writers.
The series was filmed mainly in hadfield; other locations include glossop
marsden and todmorden
Bacup and
Mottrom in
Greater Manchester

My favourite characters were the local shopkeepers Tubbs and Edward Tattsyrup who ran the business on an isolated stretch of moorland.
Nearly all of the characters live in Royston Vasey. Tubbs and Edward Tattsyrup ran the local shop for a long time despite the fact it is far away from the actual centre of the town.However, they believe themselves to be local and will protect their localness by any means.
(There catchphrases were )
- This is a local shop for local people. There's nothing for you here.
- I have a husband, you know
- He covets the precious things of the shop
- Lines and lines and lines and lines...
- Come for me when the firey ball weighs heavily in the sky...
Here they are defending their territory from an officer of the law who visites there shop like a referencial scene taken from the Whicker Man ; )
Well have no trouble here !
Now showing on the sky box sets..
I earn my taxi fare up them hills tubbs !
