I am due to go to Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire, a favourite place of mine, mainly because it was home to a smugglers network in the 1700s.

This vid from YouTube popped up with the panic title of Snowmageddon in North Yorkshire, for those of you with serious snow I thought it might make you laugh. The maker who has a strong North Yorkshire accent, tells a good story about life in the area.

Yes, the heavy wet type of snow is the worst. I sure don't like it when we get it because it makes driving dangerous regardless of you having a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. Being retired I have the luxury of just staying home till road conditions improve.

Yes, it is nice not to have to risk damage to the vehicle to make the professional rounds.

Not been to RHB but we have enjoyed a couple of breaks in Staithes, just along the coast.

Robin Hoods Bay has a lot going for it but the hill from the top of the town down to the beach is as steep as any you will find and you cannot take your car down, so not for those with dicky hearts. It is an old fashioned holiday town, walk the beach looking for fossils and seeing what you can find in rock pools, many 300 year old cottages to look at and even smugglers tunnels. Probably changed now but there used to be a man who went out in his boat at 4AM, caught fish, brought it back to his shop, cooked it and when it was all gone he closed up, you couldn't find fresher fish than that.

If you are there for a couple of days there is a walk along the coast following the closed Whitby to RHB railway line with some spectacular views.

A neighbour and his son, must be about 9 years old now, came round this afternoon for an unexpected chat with a cup of tea and a biscuit, I was suspicious when I saw the boys school exercise book.

'Olly has some English homework, can you help?'

A father shouts at his son, he was so badly behaved.

The question is, who was badly behaved?


I said that I didn't know but I would ask.

The father. If it was the son, there would be a semi colon, or even a new sentence, instead of a comma.
