I might as well give up with this Captain Value stuff having just spent a weekend visiting friends in Morley, West Yorkshire.. This must be one of the cheapest places in the UK to live.
Well the bargains never stopped.
- Bananas at 29p / lb.
- The Morley WMC: round of drinks for six - £12, with the malt of the month - Highland Park 12yr at £1.40 a dram.
- the market had shop after shop selling cheapo delights: chocolates, crisps etc (though a little on the best before edge it has to be said)
- and a Bargain Madness that sells booze - woohoo - Caledonian Golden Promise at 99p a bottle.
This is a statue of Ernie Wise - the leaning comedian of Morley.
But the best bit was just outside Morley - the West Riding Refreshment Room at Dewsbury rail station. I used to work in Dewsbury and the place is now looking a little sad - but with the West Riding it has a gem. It is a well renowned place for real ale and the food was superb. I had a Berry Blond at £2.40 a pint accompanied by a home made corned beef pasty with all the trimmings - roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage - delicious at £4.50.
