Emmerdale

[Aclaret]

Crikey, what has happened, can't believe how shite it is. Not sure what Seth & Mr Wilks would think of this rubbish

[Zlatan]

Not watched it in years, in fact since probably 2005ish. Lost interest after meeting all the women from the show when they were on a night out in Leeds. Me and a colleague joined them for most of the night and had a really good time. I suppose it was hard to watch with the wife after that

[Aclaret]

Got you Zlatan, you are lucky Cain Dingle didn't get wind of your night out with the girls.
Would like to add Emmerdale not fit to lace Corries boots !

That would be Edna Birch then

Chatted to a couple from Corrie in Leeds, but don't recollect seeing any of the Emmerdale crowd, although I don't watch it so only recognise some of them.

I briefly chatted to 'Rosie Webster' and Craig in Bar One.

Talking of Corrie - that has seriously gone downhill.

I spent most of the evening chatting to Leah Bracknell (RIP). I think it was her leaving party with all the other ladies on the show. We just enjoyed their company and they enjoyed ours for the evening, that’s all

[FactualFrank]

Do you live in these parts, Zlatan?

[Zlatan]

Do you live in these parts, Zlatan?

Lived in Burnley for 15 years (left in 2010), worked in Leeds for about 3 years at one point. Back in 2005 I was taking all sorts of Microsoft training courses in Leeds over a period of about 6 months, so we had some really good nights out on expenses - can’t for the life of me remember any names of the places we went in though. Did a few in 2007 too, and I was in the cinema when the 7/7 bombing happened and I loosely remember armed police around the city centre when we left there, as one of the suspects was from Leeds.

I will say that we always had a good night out in Leeds, and we’d always stay in the Novotel, as it was central enough for us

Unfortunately yes, she died last year of lung cancer

You say you left Burnley in 2010, whereabouts are you living now?
Leeds is certainly a good night. We've even been out on Mondays the odd time and it was still lively.

Havent watched it for years along with Coronation st. Unless I'm visiting the wrong house. She was quite feisty as I recall...

[Aclaret]

Is the Woolpack still a good night out ?

I popped down to the Woolpack (the original one in Esholt) a couple of weekends ago. They were doing takeouts.

Nearest town is MK for me now.

It was a shame really she hadn’t smoked for decades but partly blamed it on smoking despite quitting & the smoking had nothing to with how she developed the cancer the doctors said.

The original Woolpack is in Arncliffe, near Kettlewell - The Falcon. The real landlord was famous for his inhospitality towards visitors. There was a sign outside saying 'Leave the Pennine way out here' (take your boots off), and he used to close on the day of the village festival.

Sounds like a nice guy...

The ale was fantastic. No cellar, the barrels were on a trestle behind the bar, and beer was poured into a pewter jug before going into your (chilled) pint glass.

My missus once asked if he had lager, he leaned over the bar and said 'What do you think?'

Is he still working or has he been put 6 feet under?

Marmaduke Miller, RIP.

His family still own the pub, they're all very friendly!

Friendly is always good.

I lived in Esholt for a couple of years. It’s where they filmed Emmerdale. The Woolpack was there. One evening, enjoying a pint, the pub windows were flooded with light. We looked out to see a coach load of Japanese tourists at 9pm, all taking photos.

I got married in the small church there and that was frequently used during filming.

Did you get married to a Japanese tourist?

No.

Did you know....the programme was named after the creator’s daughter.....Emma Dale?

Better than an Alien invasion I guess.

I didn't, but thanks for that. I'm surely it will remain at the back of the brain when it ever comes up in a quiz ha. I thought it might have been down to Beckindale.

Didn’t know that. Thought it was originally filmed at Esholt. Though, I’m not exactly an Emmerdale aficionado.

Yeah, but Moira eh.... And that Priya is also easy on the eye...

[Aclaret]

Admittedly bobinho, for such a small village there's been plenty of nice girls living there.

[Chobulous]

Moira's a proper Pansy Potter.
