One is from the North Riding, the other from the West Riding.
Indeed
Leak is fixed hopefully, a new cutoff valve was needed, unfortunately the nearest shop for that item was 10 miles away, yes I did think about going on the bike but I opted for treating it as an emergency, now to let the ceiling and coving dry out and redecorate, such fun, to take a line from the Miranda show.
Regarding Yorkshire tea (and other blends).
Tea blenders eg Typhoo, PG etc. select and mix a number of blends to make it more appealing to the masses as eg pure Lap Sang or Oolong are not palatable to most people.
Years ago, when water qualities and hardness varied greatley they developed a blend that was particularly suitable for Yorkshire water and called it......... Yorkshire Tea.
Nowadays everyones water is similar so Yorkshire Tea can be enjoyed by, well, everyone

We will be having Cumberland sausage, saute potatoes, kale, Yorkshires** and onion gravy.Same here..
We will be having braised beef with onions, carrots and potatoes today
** I cheated this Christmas and bought Aunt Bessie's frozen ones and have a couple left. No one noticed the difference................presumably Aunt Bessie is making Yorkshires which at least equal the very high standard of my homemade ones!

Already have people replacing the old Boundary Stones which marked the border.
