I've been back in Yorkshire for a day
and it's bloody nithering. I've become too aclimatised to the insulating power of London's smog.

raining, I'm guessing?
do you miss out the ends of words, like "Down t'pit"? I like that bit of accent most, I think.

That's more of a West Riding thing.
I'd say "I'm off down pit", or "down the pit", but I might "go t'shop".

from your profile photo you look very Chap-like.
A Yorkshire Chap is something I have never seen before. A rare marvel.

Unfortunately I don't think we did.
I got there quite late - either I missed you, or you had left before I got there.

Are you going to BM's birthday?

Might be working. Don't know.
