I live in Kirklees and agree the roads are crap. My Auntie lived in Huddersfield and had friends down south one of which was blind. When she had visited her friends down south sometimes they would come with her back to Yorkshire. Her blind friend used to say "we're not far away now are we" and my auntie would reply "no, but how do You know that, you're blind" her friend wood reply "I know because the roads are shit!"
