As a Yorkshire man myself, I'd say it sums up exactly whats wrong with Yorkshire, but I had the sense to get out many years ago, so I'm probably no longer qualified to comment.

I wonder, is it warm enough in Cornwall to remove an anorak yet?

Not quite - I walked back to the car park in St Ives this evening - beautiful day - sea flat calm and hardly any wind - and did think about taking it off as I walked - but thought better of it - need to keep my old bones nice and warm - and you just can't beat a nice comfortable and well worn anorak for that

Hula-Hoop is camping with his Scout Troop in Burghley Park this wekend!

[Spitfire]

Yes - as soon as I got back from work the anorak was thrown off and the shorts and teeshirts also surfaced for a spot of sweet pea planting
Calm evenings with not much wind are a real rarity down here - and it is such an evening - still light down here too - bet its dark up there.... we're nearer the equator see

Oh now if we are talking THAT kind of wind then evenings without that are non existent

Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid

Very thought provoking........

Anyone who thinks the art of conversation is dead, ought to tell a child to go to bed.

The most damaging phrase in the language is: 'It's always been done that way'

Oh how true
