Ah, there's a few very nice lasses in Yorkshire by my  
recollecting.  :-)  They weren't in bikinis though.  :-(

I found the folk in Yorkshire to be unbelievably friendly, although  
many looked like they needed their colour balance auto corrected.   
Particulary the friendly old folks - skin like uncooked chips.

A few weeks on an Aussie beach'd fix'm.  ;-)

Douglas, you may continue to be a fan of windy bus-shelters on rainy  
nights in the industrial areas of the West Riding all by your  
ownsome.  I reckon you go there so you can enjoy your F&C without  
competing fingers.  :-D

Rick.
