glossop Mug

A settlement in the foothills of the Pennines, England - other names include Utopia, Heaven, Paradise. Though many have attempted to find Glossop, few have succeeded. The lack of any reference on maps has made locating this acclaimed land an arduous task, and many great explorers have failed in their attempts to find it (Columbus himself declared that "Glossop shall never be found, rendering my life incomplete.") If by chance you should ever find Glossop (and this is unlikely unless you live there) then you will find it to be a place of great intrigue. The ancient gates barr the way to travellers, and the ritual of hanging cow tippers, while not promoted, is allowed to continue in accordance with local by-laws. Glossop is ruled by General F, of whom not much is known, save that the General takes a dim view of the outsider class know as the scally.
