Romiley's had too much coffee.

Romiley's gone all cafes and bars, with a little theatre it won't stop telling you about and Werneth Low behind for the Sunday walk. There's rain on 166 days a year, so the Sunday walk mostly ends in a cafe.

Getting anywhere's another story. The bus to Stockport crawls, and by car there's Bents Lane, which is Bredbury's problem until it's yours. And sewage comes out of the overflows round Romiley for more than ten times as long as in the typical town, which is more than a place this pleased with itself should stand for.
