Re: Yorkshire Sayings

I'm from Yorkshire, but I'm not fully used to these sayings either. My excuse is that neither of my parents are from Yorkshire. My dad is from Leicestershire and my mum is from Dudley, West Midlands.

Re: Countdown in the news

It's seems our new champion has been talking to the Mirror in this article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/20/countdown-ace-on-dole-115875-21910265/ That's a wierdly small article, you'd think they would've got him to say more stuff than that. It might have even been cut from this...

Which time?
The 2nd time. The first time the gap was around 9 months from application to transmission.
