Doncaster – one minute late
Another pass of the drinks trolley and another pass from me. Still nursing that toxic Pepsi. Thanks for your kind wishes @Strickers but as we used to say at uni, afternoon drinking is a very bad thing.
Oh such a fun fact. Doncaster was ceded to Scotland in the Treaty of Durham in 1136 and has never formally been returned to England. No offence to Doncaster but we should totally swapsie it with Berwick-upon-Tweed. Doncaster is way bigger so that is more than fair.
