Ok, so i had to do a delivery in Mirfield today, with guy from work... and it was this nice old man, and I found out from him that the One way system on St.Pauls road is only a temporary trial, and they are going to try it the other way as well! but he thinks it is a load of rubbish already.. AND he agreed with me that the Speights lights junction was indeed friendly and the traffic lights there are a loada crap!
Also he has this photo from 1935 i think! he let me take a picture of it! its when the railway to Leeds ran thropugh Mirfield! all gone now! He showed me it because i commented "I bet you can remember when this was all fields!" haha.
And he got the photo out!
If you look to the top right you can see the Parish Church & hill! a large new road going straight down to Huddersfield road! but not like that now!
A big Mill on the main road as well! can you believe that railway line has completely gone!
I like to wonder what the Hill was like & the Old house near the Village stocks! The River is a main route to the Sea for boats! I wonder exactly how mamy villages and huts there were in Celtic times, and I dont even think there were THAT many buildings in the Middle ages either. I think there is a lot of elaboration in the accounts of the history books!
We got £5 tip each as well! i think you can be given that without tax £5. So Cameron probably will not be after it for tax.
Here, before we did the delivery when i was out this Morning... I was Mortified to see that the local feature of the Three Nuns stonework has been removed from the Three Nuns pub!!
and replaced by a METAL BLACK BULL!
AAarggHHH!!! here I have plenty to say about it (age restricted) Mirfield is not the Wakefield Burns Bull-ring!
Also, they have put a Black fence around Knowl park!! AArgh!! WHy!? HELP! Someone stop them!
The Word Knowl is from Knowledge. There is Ravensknowl Park in Huddersfield as well. Knowl is near Ravensthorpe. The River Calder flows from the Pennines, Holm firth area, Past Castle Hill.. through Huddersfield, Mirfield, Ravensthorpe & joins the Aire is it? Ouse and flows past Castleford anyway..to Hull and into the Sea! Right at the tip of Sperm Head used to be calkled "Ravenspurn" as well. This is connected to our history before the City of York was built. Our area managed to be left alone.... I do like Knaresborough as it is nice, but Mirfield seemed to miss that much attention for a time after YORK came into being.. and only LATER in the 1800's did it get messed up with the CANALS & BARGES from Manchester passing through.
(I do like Barge folk culture) but the original River profile and river boats would have been nice to have in Mirfield following the old river route to the sea trips.
Anyway.. my reaction to the new fence...
Also.. I mentioned that by Brother has rammed our wall down at home!? (idiot) because he wanted to move some soil. And I actually have been wanting to get it built back up again.. But the Council have been ringing up asking if there has been an accident?! And want to do some work on the Pavement! So need it cleared up.. (Which is kind of ok in a sense) But I always am highly suspicious of the councils motives behind things.
My brother has had 2 strange incidents where he crashed into a wall 1 time and another where his car ended upon its roof outside the high school. (But i think its impossible to do as its too narrow to turn so sharp) Also there was a steange pub sign, now corrected over the Saville arms pub Half & Half, I was going to get a photo but its been changed.
I actually think my brother might have been spiked or something in relation to BOTH his accidents.
I had an accident on the Bend near the Womens Prison .. Newhall. they put gripstop there, but not on the Bend!!
It was due to the FOG and not adequate warning of the bend early enough... Lucky that we were Ok.. I was in the car with a local lad who was Ok, as well. Some of the accidents I hear about like from Community service people are unusual... My Friend tipped his car upside down getting onto the motorway. On the Slip road.
And I was once given something strange in a night club one time that made me scared and panic on my way home one time (But Lucky I was ok)..
I actually truly believe that there ARE malicious people out there who have capabilities and the desire to give people nasty things, and that it could be collaborated. A bit like the undercover police operations. The Police Know everything about everyone, where they will be, where they are going to be and mostly where they are going.
And from what I have seen of the Police & Council and what they HAVE done with incorrect & Illegal road signs and markings & Dodgy entrapment set-ups.. I would wager that they DO, HAVE and WOULD go to the lengths, acts and engagements to actully "Hunt" and "Set-up" persons they are aware of and have been watching.
Like instead of arresting someone, they might just "decide to teach them a lesson". It could easily be done and the Disclosure would actually not only ptotect them but make it illegal for them to talk about it. These operations could be both Official or unofficial. Inside or outside of police work time.
Just look at the Green peace Protester getting pregnant from that undercover police officer.
I believe that is the Tip of the Iceberg IMHO. But what do I know. I am just speculating.
But i know people. And I have had experience with "some" police (some ok) others not.
Its like friends.. there are honest ones and dodgy ones.
I dont think everything that happens is malicious. There are Pratts and there are just people who have bad ideas. Like My Mate who's dad is the Council type of person... Carrys a bit of authority with the local council.. & My Mate helped design the Skatepark at Greenhead Park... Took Charge of the designs... And It ended up being.. frankly Crap.
A lot of the people on the council are very good at Taking charge.. but Churn out a LOT of rubbish ideas. When things are best left as they are. (IMHO). I think that The Council should be a "Maintenance" and "Accounts only" role. and that all other plans & Decisions should be made by local people voting together. But not just one or 2 complaints on this or that.. speed bumps blah, blah....
There needs to be safety and concern YES. But it needs to be thought out properly. (IMHO)
If speeding was a problem, why are the speed limits county to county completely different for identical profile roads with the same houses & pedestrian use?!
A white fence might have been more visible at night time?! but isnt this just as crap as the Fence around Greenhead Park?! and 1800's style water features like they have been removing from Seaside towns?
I just think that Most of these type ventures merit a new theme park chain called "Derek World" ?
And I am the person making myself look an idiot to the world in video lectures. When I am in fact Peacefull, kind person.
But I would never stand up and sign my name to "Derek World". You might as well just go on a day trip to Lytham St.Annes. (Not knocking the place)
