Darren - I think we have to grudgingly admit that Lancashire has produced some fine comics. ;D

Stan Laurel and Eric Morecambe both being unsurpassed examples.  Susan worked for 20 plus years in Ulverston where Stan was born, and now we live only 4 miles from Eric's home town. Weird coincidence as I'd have liked them both wherever we lived!

I'm told even the term 'War of the Roses' was only coined a couple of centuries after the event. Yorkies and Lankies are like a family really - we might bicker but we soon stand together against outsiders!

It's refreshing to see our fellow forumist Matt favouring the 'Buy It Now' style of selling his snowdrops rather than the ebay auction where prices shoot heavenward.

It has cheered me up reading all this on a grey wet morning.
It brought back memories of when we first moved to Yorkshire about 17 years ago and my youngest son was at primary school. Walking home with him one afternoon he piped up "What's that in t'road?". I nearly fell over!

My favorite expression is 't'internet' used by locals and non-locals alike!

Galanthus 'Dryad Gold 5 ' is lovely, Anne.  By the name it is "one you made earlier" - have I missed this being shown previously?

It's one of the group of seedlings from Wendy's Gold x lutescens that I showed last year. As a working name, I'm using 'Dryad Gold series' with a clone number so I can put DG1, DG5 etc on the labels. Saves graphite. ;)
