As you're from New York, you should try visiting the original York.

Shouldn't he be visiting Amsterdam in that case?

Amsterdam's only a short flight away. He could visit both.

So that was Yorkshire day. If you hadn't pointed it out Un I'd never have known. I've been thinking about all the Yorkshire people we used to see on telly in my youth. It used to be awash with them. There ought to have been a bigger commemoration of Eric Sykes who's just died but I suppose the Olympics are the only show in town at present.

 

[Essex Boy]

One more thing: didn't Dracula land at Whitby?

Eric Sykes was a Lancastrian!

He did. I can see why.

To a southerner....

 

[looseliam]

Yorkshire? Too many small, yappy-type dogs.

A pudding for Mr Goldenmoth.

Thanks! I'll have to add Yorkshire to my list of places to see. It loos beautiful.

He's from Essex. Say no more!

There are two breeds of dog from Yorkshire. Yorkshire Terriers, I agree, are yappy little ankle biters.

but Airedale Terriers are a different kettle of fish altogether.

That's more or less obligatory isn't it?

Not familiar with Essex though I think we used to get some jam made there....

 

[unloadonme]

Essex is virtually London and is something of a standing joke elsewhere in the country. Just Google "Essex Girl Jokes"!

mmmm...gooseberry jam as I recall...not bad though a bit pricey. Or was it cherry?
Yes, I can't imagine anyone going to Essex on holiday...
