I bet, especially the Liverpool ‘scoucer’ accent is getting much harsher - just compare with the Beatles!
Here ya’ go, Vim. And when you go, sometime, the BEST pub there is called ‘Nellie’s’ (or The White Horse). It’s an old Sam Smith’s pub with all the original coal fires and gas lighting. John Wesley actually preached there at one time. LOL!
Remember that those guys (17th Century evangelicals) were much wiser than we think - most drank good beer (the water would kill you in the Uk inthem days). On his death bed Whitfield called for a glass of cider. In America Jonathan Edwards used to make slow gin to eek out his meagre wages.
So I’ll certainly raise a glass.
BTW my sister in Yorks has been a life long liberal-lefty (love her) - last time I saw her she said she would vote conservative at the next election!!!!!!! Yorkshire and the North as a whole has been very neglected and Islam is fully settled in the major cities) Sad.
What I know of Morris Dancing I learned from Terry Pratchett. They should be hunted down... :)
Whenever I tell Brits my brother-in-law is from Humberside they go “Ugh....Hull”. Any idea why?
There is a new horror film called ‘Drag me to Hell’
In the UK it is known as ‘Drag me to Hull’
It is the original ‘dirty old town’ with little character and .... I’m sure a lot of lovely people live there so I’ll shut up.
Is there a Morris Dancing Ping? Just wondered......
Our Nation’s First Black President
