Here's couple more for you
It all been done before but here's a few more things you just don't get abroad
Watching a Boxing Day football game on the telly. The camera pans around the crowd and find some blokes dressed up as the “Three Wise Men�, complete with fake beards and shepherd’s crooks. The commentator makes a wry comment about the Christmas spirit.
Driving along and stopping to let a bus pull out. The bus driver’s window goes down, a hand comes out and gives you the “thumbs up� sign.
Three thing about snow:-
The feeling of abolute quiet you only seem to get when it snowing.
That strange sort of glowing blue daylight on a morning.
Opening the curtains on a morning to dicover it snowed unexpectedly overnight and everything has been dusted brilliant white.
Full English in a breadcake.
Ultra traditional fish & chip shops that sell proper fishcakes. Special mention for CJ’s Fish Bar in Armely for its marketing promotion (written in biro on a paper bag) “Lilt – buy one get one free !�
Three consecutive warm days and you get footage on the Regional News showing kids laughing and eating ice-cream. Usually a comment like “and as the region continues to bask in a heatwave…�
The mammoth task of sorting through the special two week edition Christmas TV guide
Parkin appearing in the shops in the run up to bonfire night. The downside being kids who think tying a balloon to an old jumper is worth a quid of your money as “Penny for the Guy�.
Blokes selling newspapers on the street, shouting out “Eeeeeeeeeeeevening Post !�
