That's the only minor criticism I'd have; you're not addressing the road - it's not the road's fault, it's the people's! Blame the commuters.

Mmm, I see this. Originally the road was to be much more athromopormized. The reference to it not being a shiny avenue or other loved street, was part of a slightly longer section, where the road's own sense of being unwanted and unregarded comes through. Obviously its moved away from that but retianed the focus on the road. That's one of the things I was wondering about with this one. I like what it is, but it has changed quite a lot from how it started. The stuff I left out, I rather liked....but if I add another dimension I think it might lose the simplicity that it currently has, and which I quite like.... I am not sure how much of the original sentiment comes through having stripped away some of the indicators of that sentiment. That of course is the problem with reading your own work; it's impossible to remove the knoweldge you have, of your own intentions.
Does that make sense?

And yes. Photos of Hebden Bridge please. I'm as fascinated as the Merkins about this Lesbos in the North. Especially the unusually large gays.

Bloody giants, they are! *grins*
[eta] I just read that back and I have explained myself badly :P When I refer to the road's sense of being unwanted, I don't mean I was treating the road as an overt character, with direct sensation and thought. More that it was implied, that somehow this road is a kind of embarrassing poor relative of the shiny avenues. The road's 'self' was implied rather than directly referenced.
