@2legged A white piece of paper with black text is taped to a glass window pane within a green frame. The text on the paper reads: "NOTICE WHOEVER IS PLACING THE COPYS OF PORNOGRAPHIC LITERATURE IN HERE, STOP! CORNHOLME IS A GOOD GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN VILLAGE. IF THIS FILTH IS TO YOUR LIKING MAY WE SUGGEST THAT YOU MOVE TO THECESS PIT THAT IS HEBDEN BRIDGE". Behind the glass, various books are visible, including one titled "The Meadow Girls".

@2legged Now I know which city in those parts I would prefer, even though I am boringly cishet.

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@tml Even the cishets in #HebdenBridge are not vanilla. Lots of cloggies and hippies.

I used to live the other side of the hills, and recall 30 years ago a quick drink after work with a small group. One cishet woman dashed off home to Hebden Bridge to collect her 10yo son from his #aromatherapy class.

@2legged Some years ago I randomly got off the train in Hebden Bridge and walked along the canal to Mytholmroyd. (Weird place names...) Did not stay longer in the area though, but definitely want to go back for a few nights sometime, lovely landscape. And the vibe of Hebden Bridge sounds like a definite additional plus.

@tml if you get more time in Hebden Bridge, the Trades Club is a very special music venue. Hippies, cloggies, lefties, fine music, great bar.

@2legged copys of pornographic material, you say...?

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@ASprinkleofSage It's gonna be the busiest book-swap-box in the north!

@2legged

I'm 50/50 on whether that note is genuine bluenosed moral outrage or a ploy to get people to leave _more_ pornographic literature.

[mabande@mastodon.social]

@2legged Sorry, but with a name like Cornhole* I think the porn will materialize without any human hand involved (other parts might be, though).

* yes, I first misread it as such

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@skjeggtroll Knowing that part of the world, I suspect that it's all a wind-up. And done well!

@2legged My late mother in law lived in Hebden and although she was straight female I met a lot of her gay friends. Lovely place Hebden

@2legged article is from 2021. I live just down the road. It was just a joke and no one actually cares
The book boxes are still all around the whole area and are wonderful.

@2legged CORNHOLE

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@terribletowelie I think that must be American terminology. I never heard it in the UK or Ireland.

[terribletowelie@mastodon.social]

@2legged yup and it means something the person who wrote the sign wouldn't like

[allende1973@todon.nl]

@2legged

[greg_harvey@tooting.ch]

@2legged Ha. Cornholme will have the best collection of pornographic literature in the known universe in 3.... 2.... // @rachel
