I will be in tadcaster next weekend to do the charity detail that was won at the Burghley event in July. Now, I've not been up that way for years. Should I get myself a flat cap or a whippet so I blend in? Maybe a kestrel too? I just don't want to stand out too much.....

It's still 2 and a half hours up north from me, so it's definitely the north. I'm expecting to see a big wall like in game of thrones. I have heard that the Yorkshire types have the same rare breed moths in their wallets as the Scottish.

I thought about loading up the van with chips and gravy, but I'd only get it broken into. "No pies left in this vehicle overnight"
I think if I wear a flat cap and don't take my wallet out, then I think I'll blend in.

No fear of that. They don't venture past Birmingham. Cocktail bars get thin on the ground any further than that.

Battered rings are a whole different subject.

Ah, but isn't a bacon roll also called a bacon cob around your parts?

Got it. What about a bit of gravy down my top? Maybe a bit of coal rubbed on my face to show I've been down pit.

Anything north of Sheffield is the north. To some, anything north of oxford is the north too. I get called a northerner by the London lot and a shandy drinking southerner by the northern lot, but called a hero by everyone (not fat cake eating bastar*)

Mcdonalds is the same everywhere in the country and has not failed me yet. Besides, i will be working too early/late to go where these cakes/baps/rolls are sold. I do like the idea of chips and gravy though.

I think muffin scuffler is more of a specialist item. So, do you have a garage now to put the vantage?

That's good. It's good you don't have your car where you had it before anymore.

On a serious note. If anyone living in or around gods country wants my services while I'm up there, just let me know before the weekend.
