Don't you just love the fact though that they still call it a "Picture House" even on the updated plastic sign?

Bet you wouldn't get that in Milton Keynes.

Yeah. ... the land that time forgot, a multiplex it ain't.
On Thursdays, they do 11:00 morning screenings when, included in the £5 price, you get a china mug of tea and a biscuit to take in with you.
One of these Thursdays, I'm going to give that a go myself, dodging the pensioners out on the pull.

The good news is that it transferred from Calderdale council to local council ownership last year, so the plastic Calderdale sign has now gone!!
A local Picture House for local people.
You'll never leave ...

Slightly related...Where I used to live the council (presumably) installed big bold new signs to inform people driving down the main road that "This is a Police enforcement area". I'm not sure how this distinguished the area from others as surely the Police enforce law and order in all areas??? The only effect I could see was to waste tax payer cash, and give a horrible big brother style message that the authorities were watching!

My favourite ones are the ones that say "No unwanted callers". How do people know if they're wanted or not without knocking on the door and asking?
