Tea?

[Andy in Germany]

He's planning to visit, we'd not allow entry.

Dual nationality, remember? I'm half Yorkshire.

I stopped at a junction yesterday to let a funeral pass, car at immediate rear tooted me, growl then he got a mouthful, if you can't wait for a minute, he did the usual dropping the gear to scream past me, hand signal was appropriate I thought...

"Getting in line" as I've heard a couple of undertakers call it.

How far back, was usually the number that would go between the one they were pushing in on and their trip at the head of the line.

I find smiling and waving is the best response. It keeps me calm and makes them madder than anything else I could do...

With a motorcycle chain and lock slung over the shoulder, I've made one or two think about doing anything. When it's been taken off and held in the hand.

Were you born in Yorkshire?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Were you born in Yorkshire?

Alas no, my parents were in Bristol at the time.

We're at least five generations Yorkshire folk though, although the earliest was an incomer, possibly a Scot, as the were from Dundee, but then, they had a German surname.

It looks like we've a long history of making life complicated.

Not Yorkshire then.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Not Yorkshire then.

Not, 'Bloodborn' to coin a phrase...

Actually I'm probably more Celtic than Yorkshire...

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Not Yorkshire then.

Phew, lucky escape then

He's planning on visiting and it would have made things so much easier at the Port of Entry.

Now it'll be the Red Channel, something to declare.

You mean the Scottish link with German names, who may have hailed from Ireland?

Yep, insanity for visiting

I remember you mentioning that before. What was the Irish/German name connection?

True, but as @Bobby Mhor points out, one should always look on the bright side.

Besides, York is now a separate entity from Yorkshire isn't it? They'll need to make the A64 a Transit corridor like they did for Berlin, and search all vehicles entering the city.

No, it's the Scottish - German link(Mentioned by yerssen), on top of the Scottish - Irish link*, with Bristol connections in Yorkshire.

*More than a few "Scottish" folk are actually of Irish descent.

How can the County Town be seperate from the County?

 

[Andy in Germany]

How can the County Town be seperate from the County?

I'm not sure really. Perhaps they were embarrassed?

Now you need to set up a rival 'capital' in another part of Yorkshire. Harrogate perhaps?
