I have just learned something that I hope doesn't mean what I think it does...

Last night I got a message saying that a courier had 2 parcels for me and that they would be delivered this afternoon.

I just got 2 more messages...

Message #1 said that the parcel whose contents are valued at £25 will be delivered 13:00-14:00.

Message #2 said that the parcel whose contents are valued at £600 will now NOT be delivered until further notice!

So, I am wondering why. Has someone...

• Lost the parcel?
• Damaged the parcel?
• Stolen the parcel?

Fortunately, the 'further notice' came the next day, followed a few hours later by the parcel!

I have lived in Yorkshire near the border with Lancashire for 39 years and I have often heard locals muttering about the 'War** of the Roses'. I think that for most of them the hostile comments are a bit tongue-in-cheek, though one or two still take the subject seriously!

It struck me today that I didn't actually know who won so I thought that I would do my history homework this evening on Wikipedia. I expected a few paragraphs but found THIS incredibly detailed article! It is too much to read in one go, so I still don't know who won. ** What I have learned though that it was actually a series of wars lasting over 30 years.

I will read the article over a few days. It looks interesting .

Yorkshire, Yorkshire, what's the score?

Errrr, fancy a shot on my daughter?

Hopefully saved you some time.

Did some Welsh/Francophile with a couple of drops of LancastrIan blood win it.
