York – two minutes early
What can I say about York? I have already mentioned the cathedral. Well everyone knows that it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow upon seeing one carrying a bow and arrow, except for on Sundays.
So I should be fine as I am unarmed AND it is a Sunday.
I used to come to York a lot actually as I had two very good friends here after I graduated. Indeed I have eaten more KFC in York than in all the other places in the world combined as there was one within spitting distance of my friend’s flat. He sometimes went to KFC in his dressing gown if the degree of his hangover warranted such measures.
I, of course, always put on a coat and tie as had standards even in the 1990s. With hindsight, underpants and trousers would been a courtesy too.
