ooh
my birthday is on thursday, close!

my dad was born in tod, when it was still in yorkshire (the residents would say it still is). when he gets really fed up with our jibes about red roses, he will actually dig out his birth certificate to prove that it says yorkshire. i suspect tippex.

It doesn't - ever.
I've conceded above that Leeds is the best City in the UK, but I'm still Lancashire and will clutch the thorny stem of the Red Red rose to my breast until I'm too old to clutch it any more.
