I sold my Luger

Tac, when I lived in Suffolk (Needham Market), my neighbor (an Englishman) took his wife on holiday to Yorkshire. I asked about his trip when he'd returned and he said he had a problem understanding the people in Yorkshire. He'd asked directions to a place and got only a blank stare even after trying to pronounce the name several different ways. He finally wrote the name on paper and immediately got directions. He spelled it for me and I said I'd have pronounced it -----! He looked at me in the strangest way and said "That's exactly how that Bloke pronounced it!" True story!
