Shame it's not late August as I'm in Holmfirth then

I hope to be there on the day at least, I am waiting on a date for eye surgery, if it's at least a week before or after the 19th all will be good, it is going to be a great day and I would hate to miss it

Also booked hotel for my friend Claire and myself here. More info on the day itself has emerged: Join Jonathan "Crusher" Linsley for a one day celebration of Last of the Summer Wine in the heart of Holmfirth. With activities running...

Greets and Weclome, @Madge Felton . Was it still a working mine in 2008? I did not see when or if it stopped production on the website.

I visited and did the underground tour here in 2008. It was very educational and the guide was a local retired coal miner. Conditions must have been very tough for those men who worked there during my lifetime, but they must have been...

we get hospital appointment letters the day after the appointment, and the doctor confirmed one clinic said he cancelled a referral to them, despite the doc not contacting them since making the referral! If you want an appointment for...

When my wife visited ENT last year, they decided they would remove her tonsils, at the appointment that was already running late they said if you are happy to wait around 30 minutes they can do the pre op assessment which would save us...

This kind of c*** is becoming more common place. Hand on heart the NHS and other medical establishments employ people who shouldn't be within 100 miles of a hospital. Box ticking bull****.

I can confirm that. I have lived here for almost 40 years, until two years ago I had my own Doctor (Piper, until he retired, then "*******" until she retired) extremely happy with the surgery, I knew all the people from the Nurses, all...

I was half expecting you to say that your wife already had her tonsils out when she was younger.

I think I belong to one of the most disjointed Doctors surgery's in Britain! On Tuesday I spoke with a Doctor on the phone, she said I did need to see her and to leave it with her to make the appointment. On Wednesday morning I get a...

Talking of mining....I knew 2 lads from Yorkshire who used to watch Everton...1 was from Thorne and 1 was from Doncaster...[we were only teenagers] Both their dads were lifelong miners... I was invited to attend the big protest at...

Sounds interesting. I've been on guided tours of a few large caves when younger but not an actual mine. Remember while deep in one part of a cave the tour guide saying they were going to turn the lights off for a moment for us to...

Yes I did a tour about 20 years ago, it was very interesting, my advice is leave anything electronic in the car as they have to take it off you before you go down

Has anyone visited here? https://www.ncm.org.uk/ and gone on an underground tour? I've never taken a tour down a coal mine, although I have been down a salt mine, the Salzbergwerk just outside Berchtesgaden. Bought a small container of...
