Only here would that be the first proper response 😂

4/10

Picks up marks for using caps lock, random spacing (including lack thereof) and good use of an exclamation mark.

Loses marks for lack of expletives and/or related acronyms, not having a full row of question marks and, most disappointingly, correctly spelling “your”.

Cornhole is a great name for a godfearing village. 🙂

I'm off to get a copy of "The Meadow Girls". Sounds intense.

Just reread it. Why do they fear good gods? Surely it is the asshole total **** gods they should fear?

Sounds like Children of the Corn. By God fearing do they mean inbred?

Is "god fearing" really a thing? Now that is something to fear.

Of course it is, and has been for a very long time! As in fearing the wrath of God, for not behaving in a righteous manner.
That’s your old-school Christians; now, your modern-day Evangelical, on the other hand, knows that because they say the right things, and give lots of money to their church, can get away with anything they damned well please, because, come the Rapture, their place is already bought and paid for!

"thecess  pit'...🤔

Did you notice the book below?

"A Place  of Execution". I fear that we've not heard the last of this...

From Amazon

For fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, The Meadow Girls is a warm-hearted and nostalgic family saga from the bestselling author of THE WINTER BABY and THE NURSEMAID'S SECRET.

Sounds promising.

Well the Nursemaid must be pretty bloody annoyed. It was her secret, and they wrote a book all about it! Could probably sue.

According to Amazon, Nursemaid's Secret is...

A warm-hearted and nostalgic family saga from the author of The Winter Baby and The Gingerbread Girl, for readers of Katie Flynn and Sheila Jeffries.

I'm not game to check the Winter Baby ... just in case the triangle breaks and I inadvertently open a portal to the underworld!

(Actually, I suspect the Nursemaid's Secret is a popular book in Hebden Bridge's little free libraries)

So, you either pay for a place with the privileged or fear the consequences or of not being able to? Are we talking religion or our current government?

The more I read about the generic rather than extreme understanding of paganism and how it describes the Christian faith as one that uses “god fearing” and biblical rules as a mechanism to control the people, the more I’m tempted to return to my Viking roots (metaphorically).

Maybe this story isn't true at all but rather a ploy to "up the numbers" of visitors to the library so it doesn't get closed down.....

Context is everything how; we as 21st C people view, see the historical church

Not sure a phone box full of tatty Catherine Cookson novels qualifies for council funding. 🙂

But 'Gentleman Jack' is simply a tale of local gentry from years gone by in Calderdale. I'm sure the good people of Todmorden understand....

You have to live in the cesspool if you want to read that kind of stuff.

Also, anyone who thinks Hebden Bridge is a cesspool, I wouldn’t necessarily trust to judge what is and what isn’t pornography

I hope the smut supplied was some arty hand bound book.
Would be disappointing if it was just a handful of grot mags

I'd wager that anyone who thinks Hebden Bridge is a cesspool and describes themselves as god fearing in the same sentence is likely a raging homophobe.

My gran considered "damn" to be a swear word. She washed one of my cousin's mouth out with soap after hearing him swearing. Poor bastard, he was probably just copying my dad and uncles, they were fearsomely good swearers.

If you're going to put a notice in a free library, you should at least try to spell it right!

You’ve hit the nail on the head there.

It was probably a LibDem election flier.

If heaven is a thing I hope there is a ‘quiet carriage’ for the joyless extreme presbyterian brigade (not that I’m likely to find out)

I quite agree, they should stop placing porn and instead leave a copy of the Qur'an. That would pretty much ensure the god fearing villagers implode.

it's obviously written tongue-in-cheek to get a social media reaction. The perp is probably reading this thread right now having a giggle.

They are probably just fed up of the shelves being filled with 50 Shades of whatever

I love how someone from Tod can accuse Hebden of being a cesspool. What’s next, Sowerby being the home of the virtuous?

50 Shades Of Grey is just the local weather forecast....

And Cornholme is weird.
Even for Todmorden.
No one has seen the sun since 1976, the valley sides are steeper than a Santa Cruz price list and it used to be full of hippies.

Either Hebden's upped the game, or it's the greatest bit of stealth advertising by a local electrician ever.
