While I was down at Coventry earlier this week Nashio966 (Ben) was alluding to the fact that we northerners are less civilised than persons from his neck of the woods, and I believe he even refers to Derbyshire as Mau Mau territory! While in fairness I struggle to argue with the Derbyshire/Mau Mau reference, I felt I had to leap to the defence of Yorkshire, my home county. Honour demands it and all that…
He doubts we in Yorkshire have electric, reckons we dwell in mud huts, and that we still haggle in beads and turnips. I felt it my duty to inform him that he’s soooooo far behind the times, and that in fact the turnip was phased out as a form of currency in Yorkshire some years ago, due to several nasty fights and shedding of blood over the issue of giving change…

And we only rarely sacrifice chickens…

Ps. What’s wrong with sackcloth and woad?!;)

I’m not so sure. Turfing the whole lot out and starting afresh strikes me as quite a sensible idea.

…And he knew how to deal with the Scots! :diablo:

Yes RH, but the Scottish just have to mither about the rest of the UK’s Parliament, as mithering about as their own little ‘Parliamentlet’ is about as (in)effective as the organisation itself!
I once heard someone say ‘Democracy’s all very well and good, till it doesn’t go your way’. Quite liked that :diablo:

^^^ Now someone’s being plain silly…!:D

Very nice again! Saw the poorly looking Phantom when I drove past the other day, felt sorry for it. Looking at your photos I wish I’d taken the time for a wander around there, oh well there’s always next time.
Did you not take any of the Vulcan mate? 😀

You’re welcome Janie, really nice looking chippie. Happy memories of them from my days as a Cadet 🙂

Only shot I got from my perch on the Shack, not great sorry:(

Come back Mr. Cromwell…
