Still arguing about the pronunciation of the names of both the county and the city, they decided to ask the staff, so, as they stood at the counter one of them said to the dazzling young blonde assistant “Before you serve us would you mind settling an argument for us?

Who knows Yorkshire?  You might relish this conversation overheard in central Leeds - two Americans asking for "the road to Wet Herby" (as in "damp herbert").

All best - Gavin
