Eeeeee nah then Marina, tha's not Howard's Marina from Upperthong are thee?
?
(If you know the series)
I think it depended more where you lived in Yorkshire as well, for example in Upperthong we never saw any kids doing anything much on Mischief Night but at Shepley there was a fair bit of "mischief" and positive mayhem in Skelmanthorpe
For all the Yorkis here:-
Barnsley man's wife who was deeply religious sadly died, and her Husband was determined to recognise this on her Gravestone so he duly instructed the Mason to have the words "she were thine" on it.
A couple of weeks later he was invited to view the work, which had the inscription "She were thin" on it,
he was apoplectic with rage and berated the Mason "tha blitherin idiot, tha's left off the bloody e, the bloody e!" to which the Mason replied very apologetically that he was dreadfully sorry and would rectifcy the problem.
After a few days he called the man to come and see the corrected work.
The man stood silently looking at the inscription before slowly reading, with an air of resignation ----
