The amount of horrible little scrotes descending into our village is horrific – we blame all of the greedy pub landlords in Uppermill (you know who you are) who only care about profit and not their customers safety – you don’t get any of that nonsense in the nice quiet cafes
Plenty of scrotes in Saddleworth and there always have been.
