Post-industrial depression landscape in the Cumbrian mountains? Or Yorkshire? The Pennines?

I wonder why this is controversial or such a big deal with the buses. Other towns have had pedestrianised high streets for decades and function perfectly well (and are nice places to be)

Christmas ads and it's barely mid-July (feddit.uk)
 

Just went to the Met Office website to see what the weather is going to do for the next few days here in "the except the North and West". Right at the top of the page...banner ad from Royal Mail for Christmas deliveries! It's not even mid-July!

What's the best way to spread the word about Feddit.uk and get more people involved with the instance? in c/feddituk@feddit.uk

It can be a bit of a double-edged sword.

The communities here aren't amazingly busy here yet, but the signal to noise ratio is good, a bit like Usenet before The September that Never Ended. More people involved would be nice, but quality should trump quantity. Unfortunately, in reality it's terribly hard to do - if the communities here start getting as popular as the ones on Reddit, the problems the Reddit ones also come. Sorry, no, I don't have a solution to that...
