This might be the funniest passage I have ever read. LOL

Heckmondwike is a town in the Kirklees district, West Yorkshire, England, 9 miles (14 km) south west of Leeds. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is close to Cleckheaton and Liversedge. It is in the Spen Valley parliamentary constituency, and had an estimated population of 16,986 at the 2011 Census[2] increasing to 18,149 at the 2021 Census.[3] Heckmondwike forms part of the Heavy Woollen District.

Can't believe former Seahawk Riq Woollen has a Heavy District named after him!

Have you been there and have you heard of the actor that played Malcom Meriwhether?

The Andy Griffith show is the best of all time. I have watched every episode at least a Dozen times. Don Knotts is a comedic genius. The entire cast is amazing. And Ron Howard is the an American Icon. Opie, Richie Cunningham and the went to greatness as a director and producer.

Now this is the most fascinating history I have ever read.

History
During Saxon times, Heckmondwike was a berewick or independent village in the manor of Gomersal, which, before 1066, was held by Dunstan and Gamel.

The Poll Tax of 1379 records seven families in Heckmondwike, about 35 people: including one named Thomas of Stubly. Most lived in isolated farmsteads such as Stubley Farm, on high ground overlooking the marshy Spen Valley floor.

In 1684, there were around 250 people, occupying 50 houses, in the town. The town became famous for manufacturing blankets, and by 1811 the Blanket Hall was built for trade in the town's primary manufacture. It was replaced by a second hall erected in 1839, on Blanket Hall Street in the town centre. Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of Charlotte Brontë in 1857 described the inhabitants of Heckmondwike as "a chapel-going people, very critical of their sermons, tyrannical to their ministers and violent radicals".

The town ceased generating electricity in 1924. The Power Company buildings survive in part on Bath Road.[5] The remains of the first Blanket Hall were demolished in spring 2008, along with a number of other old buildings including some former Co-op buildings that had been used as the post office and former "George" public house.

Some crazy shit happens over here - there is a village in Wales called
Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (wiki link here)
and it means "St Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio of the red cave."

We are absolute nutters.
