I spent about ten years doing voluntary work with this local charity in the Dearne Valley when I used to live there.

Here's a list of places away from the immediate area that I visited as part of my duties.

When I was in the fish and chip shop last night I noticed that, although we say 'salt and vinegar', everyone put vinegar on their chips first.

I'm thinking of going on a trip. Firstly to Pontefract to buy a cake, then Barnsley to buy a chop, then a tart at Manchester, another cake at Eccles, a mint cake at Kendal, a pudding or a tart at Bakewell and finally a scone at Derby.
