Alright Frank, you win.
Do you still have a visa for Yorkshire?

Edward IV of York reigned 1461 - 1483 after Yorkshire had won on points,
Henry VII (1485-1509) got in through the back door after shoving Richard III 
out 
of the way. maybe if things had gone a bit differently York would now be the 
capital of England, a much nicer place than London.
ere's to thee an' me an all on us

BTW for everyone else - the present lot are a mixture of Teutons and Greeks, 
though one of them does bear a striking resemblance to Mr.H., who was 
neither.
