You can't say Ossy is a dying town.

Sorry I have to disagree, Ossie is on its A*$. Anyone who wants to pay over the odds to live here want there heads reading. Although Ossie does have its exciting attractions like the Straits Club (vacancy for steward) so anyone who would like to pay over the Odds to live here, here are the directions to 'Buy The House' On Union Road.
First Pass the boarded up Commercial pub in Church and travel up Market Street passed the vandalised train station and onto Union Road. You will know when Union Road starts when you see the Burnt out boarded up shell called the Palladium, once passed that you will see numerous car parks where buildings like a petrol station and a row of colliers cottages once stood, now once you pass the School with the incorrect time on the clock open your car window and you may get a smell of the latest Arson attack on Foxhill nature reserve. Carry straight on and you will pass a overgrown boarded up Old Folks home on your left, once passed the grubby Town Hall look for a big green sign on the shop telling you that you can buy a gun there. Once passed there if you look to your left before you get to the rat infested tinker brook you will see the burnt out shell of Rhyddings Mill. After the rats you will pass the boarded up wrecked Fire Station on your right and if your lucky you might get to see a gypsy emptying his toilet over the wall onto the playing field, although the gypsies aren't always there and are often replaced with several hundred disposable nappies. Carry on up the road and if you slow down passed the Co-op you will see the boarded up James Street Club on the right, speed up pass Thomas St where the boarded up New Inn Pub is and 'Buy The House' is on the left at the junction with Roe Greave Road just after the tenth takeaway, if you get to the boarded up pickle factory you've gone to far, then you can buy my terraced house for £70k.
The only sure thing about Ossie besides the all the daffodils in Rhyddings park being destroyed by the usual mindless vandals come the spring, is that James St won't be the last pub to close its doors in this dying town.
