depths of the West Midlands
When we were about 19/20, myself and mates used to drive around the country looking for secluded places to skin up, listen to music and shoot the shit.

One night I didn't go along, but others came back with the strangest tale, swearing it was true. They still do to this day. Knowing them, if it was bullshit I'd have been presented with my "gullible person" award by now, and it wasn't like they were trying to wind me up anyway.

Apparently they pulled into a layby that ran a little way into some woods. Some woods where someone had hanged themselves years before (it was a favorite spot, partly for that reason). They relax and roll up a few doobies. Then the driver switches on the lights reeady to go home. A group of men in white robes and pointy hats are emerging from the shadows. One is walking towards them making hand gestures. They all see this, prompting a major panic attack swiftly followed by reversing the car as fast as it would go, sliding through the mud, skidding round and flooring it away.

Tell this tale to certain locals in certain country pubs round here and they always seem to know something. S'gotta be masons I reckon.

Are you sure...
...they aren't, you know, the KKK?

I'm sure the racists are only confined to the comment boards of The Sun and the Telegraph, and wouldn't dare venture into the woods for fear of making their wives' finest guest sheets dirty.

apparently they did resemble the kkk
I don't remember the whole story but think there were some accessories involved like big gleaming jewellery and bits of tree being weilded that made them look more like druids or some shit.

Oh right.
Some weird folk in Cannock. This is partly due to the fact that there is fuck all to do for miles around. Gotta pass the time somehow, so you might as well be KKK.

Jim Harrison has a busy schedule as a middle manager in a small estate agents
But on Wednesdays from 7-9pm he's in the KKK. The big problem is finding any black people to lynch in Droitwich.

Is this true? Or a reference I missed?
I don't know Jim Harrison but I could believe the story.
And you're right about the lack of minorities. It did cross my mind earlier but I posted anyway.

haha, just talking bollocks
I did write "Cannock" not "Droitwich", but decided that was shockingly presumptuous.

It was.
But you were spot on.
