These things happen

A consolation offered to someone who has just experienced something shameful or embarrassing. This may be particular to Northern Ireland but I cannot confirm.

Seems common place amongst traditional working class families, a type of "stiff upper lip" attitude.
"Awhk Billy, you've never been done for drink driving before."
"Awh a'know but I'm just so embarrassed about it."
"Louk', these things happen."

Hipperholme

Hipperholme is a village in the Calderdale area of Yorkshire, located between the towns of Halifax and Brighouse. It is located on the busy A58 road and includes Hipperholme Grammar School, a local private school.
It is also the scum of the earth.
It is advisable not to go here. Ever. Ever.
Worse than Brighouse but better than Rastrick.
There is nothing to do except cruise around in a mob and get into fights with chorers.
There is a shitty little park, but there are even more chorers there, with golf clubs.
The only place slightly worth going to in Hipperholme is the Co-op.
There used to be a good ice cream parlour but it got invaded by drug dealers.
Just don't go.
Joe: Hey, you wanna go to Hipperholme, like, on saturday?
You: No. Some retard on urban dictionary told me not to go. Ever. Ever.
Joe: Oh, Ok.
