Well comedy with bite rather than anything else I would say mate.

Stott Hall Farm
Stott Hall Farm, viewed from Moorland above westbound carriagewayStott Hall Farm (53°38′30̸3;N 1°57′08″W / 53.641599°N 1.952222°W / 53.641599; -1.952222 (Stott Hall Farm)) is an 18th-century farm on Windy Hill, situated between the two carriageways of the motorway between junctions 22 and 23.[21][32][33] The road forks around the farm for engineering reasons owing to the surrounding area's geology, though a local myth persists that the road had to be split because the owners refused to sell the land during its construction.[21] Due to its remoteness in the Pennines, the farm is often nicknamed the Little House on the Prairie, it is now known countrywide to truckers using CB radio by this name and is even referred to as such by Sally Boazman, BBC Radio 2's traffic reporter. The farm is now separated from the motorway by crash barriers and a high fence to keep livestock in and drivers out, after some stranded motorists attempted to get aid when broken down.[21][34] The farm, which was occupied by Ken and Beth Wild at the time of the motorway's opening,[32] is now farmed by Paul Thorp.[21] It is one of the ten best-known sights from the motorway network[35] and one of the best-known sights in West Yorkshire.[34] The farm was used as a location for an early episode of ITV drama series Where the Heart Is and was the subject of a short documentary film.[36]

"Although I do like wondering which poor bu99er lives in that farm between the two carriageways when I drive past. His social life must be pretty sh1t."

I have noticed that and thought the same. He probably collects Eddie Stobart lorry names.

#9373 I would also avoid junctions 1-19, 21-25 and 27-38 if I were you Pram.

Golly, my connection with teh OUMC was at one remove and anyway Hollobone is a few years younger than me.

[white fox] 06/7/2011 10:29

#9370 I thought you deemed them hard working rather than spongers though.

[golly blackwell] 06/7/2011 10:26

He was a prominent member of the Oxford University branch of the Monday Club

#9370

Aye.

[grahamite2] 06/7/2011 10:15

Well Pram, you do see an England full of English people, as I mentioned when I had occasion to go to Lancaster.

[golly blackwell] 06/7/2011 10:13

Mikey,

Did you read teh piece from teh Express rgds Phillip Hollobone?

[prambigear] 06/7/2011 10:12

Is there actually ANY reason to venture north of (say) Cambridge?

[grahamite2] 06/7/2011 10:12

Ha ha ha MO.

But as I said, I didn't get teh job.

[prambigear] 06/7/2011 10:11

#1964 re #9363 Aye rhyming slang!

[man overbored] 06/7/2011 10:04

I never had gm2 down as a merchant banker.

[prambigear] 06/7/2011 10:01

#9357 No mate. I think at one stage I had it in me head to "go somewhere in teh North". So, with Mrs P in teh passenger seat giving instructions, I drove up teh M1/M6, across teh Pennine motorway, then back down teh A1(M) not having seen anywhere worth stopping.

[white fox] 06/7/2011 10:00

#9358 Er, I live in the same county as you, Pram (albeit the nicer part).

[white fox] 06/7/2011 09:59

#9355 I thought you liked Indians, mate?

#9357 Funnily enough, that's precisely what I had him down as. He's certainly no IT specialist.

[prambigear] 06/7/2011 09:58

#9354 At least in my area I form a part of teh ethnic MAJORITY mate.

[monte1] 06/7/2011 09:57

I never had Pram down as a truck driver.
