Just seen ex-Rochdale Council Leader on news denying all knowledge of abuse of young boys at Knowle View. He bears a strong resemblance to a young Cyril Smith! Unlucky eh?

It's his love child..,

He made a young boy pregnant ? !!!!!!

Anything is possible these days - apparently.

I live in Rochdale and nothing good seems to come from the town these days.

That certainly isn't true. There's the road to Burnley ...

Aye. But you have to travel through bacup or todmorden and their both scary places.
And yes Lisa stansfield is a tosser.

Agreed nothing much since Gracie Fields and John Bright - Bill Oddie, Andy Kershaw, the Crystal Meth co-op guy, we really are scraping the barrel. Nowt wrong with Tod though.

Tod is terrible with a decent throwback market.

If it is classed as being in Tod, The Staff Of Life more than excuses the rest of the sh!te !!!

Tod's fine thesedays - just a few weirdos from Hebden and Manchester creeping in.

Todmorden seems to be on the up whenever I pass through it,actually thought about moving over there for a few seconds.

Son of Rochdale, Andy Kershaw, now lives in the fine Market Town of Todmorden.

As for the Staff of Life, it resides in the village of Lydgate which is part of the township of Todmorden.

I moved to Tod nearly eight years ago. It's a lovely little town.

Agreed Beamish, to older folk the Staff is up t' Knotts!

When I captained Rishton 2nd X1 cricket team you had to agree to stop off at The Staff on the way home after the game at Tod or you didn't get picked.

I think, after witnessing half of their performances, most of the players had stopped there before the match.

The best thing to come out of Rochdale in the last few years has been the Maestro himself, Mr Stuart Smith (rip). although that itself is going back a bit.

Nowt wrong with Tod. Holy Custard is a Tod Mor Dener lol
Great flea market on Thursdays and a really nice coffee bar in the indoor market.
