stag

And in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, some locals last month complained of an uptick in stag and hen parties after the town was popularised by BBC crime series Happy Valley.

I saw one guy in a pickup had stopped and was sawing off the head of a dead stag — presumably for the antlers, but maybe he was just hungry.

It still doesn’t match the touristic draw of either, but the spunky kid sister of the California wine countries has grown up since 2004, when Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church took their fateful stag trip into the region, declaring war on Merlot and driving Pinot Noir sales through the roof.

The small matter of a stag do was dealt with in Leeds in March, but a honeymoon is yet to be planned.

Raucous late-night stag and hen dos, pop-up brothels and drug dens are plaguing the neighbours of some short-term holiday lets, MPs have warned.
