I will certainly add Yorkshire to my must visit list
I will let you know when that day arrives, Yorkie, and you must fill me in all the 'must do', 'must see' and 'must say' in order to be a real Yorkie .

I think I can help you brush up on your Yorkshire accent
Try this link - it is quite a strong one to be fair so you may need to get subtitles.......
OMG....she is so cute. I promise I will practice (and drive my husband crazy).

When you miss me just look up to the night sky and remember, I'm like a star; sometimes you can't see me, but I'm always there.

That was the most bizarre ad I have ever seen. "There's no attempt to make people think that this is Alberta," Tom Olsen, a spokesman for Premier Ed Stelmach, told the Edmonton Journal. He must be using the handbook from 'Yes, minister'

ROTFL!! That's technically true, you know. After all, it's just a tourism ad for Alberta--who on earth would expect something as innovative as pictures of Alberta accompanying an ad for tourism to the place?
Ed Stelmach needs to be unemployed anyway and the MP for Calgary Southwest can follow him on out the door!

As I'm doing such a good job of promoting Yorkshire (really, I should be on commission) I could recommend a book for you to try.
It's in the same sort of style as 'It shouldn't happen to a vet! (All Creatures Great & Small on tv). It is about the true stories of a school inspector in the Yorkshire Dales.....

Amazon.co.uk carries it! In the past, Royal Mail has been faster in ferrying stuff across the big ditch than USPS are at ferrying stuff across the country! But I do thank you
