    Same here - and I've only ever been there once.:(

    Mind you - it was to watch our Juniors beat the Wolves Cubs 6-0 in the Yoof Cup semi-final. :)

    I love York. I have some of my happiest memories there. I certainly want to go back, idealy with the same person I was with the first time to re-visit and recreate some of the special moments.

    I have been many times in all honesty, I was in York Minster exactly one week before it was struck by lightning! I also enjoy the high class buskers playing classical music!

    I got 0% - only thing I could identify was chips and gravy...a bit partial to that.

    So did I. Scary, though I did live near there for three years and my ancestry is Yorkshire/Lancashire.

    My excuse is that I actually lived in Stoke on Trent for 3 years (someone has to live there) and was therefore dangerously exposed to the world of gravy stains and sticky buns. My ancestry is also dangerously norvern, Scottish/Scunthorpe and so I am of prime risk - but Wolverhampton ? Time to start practising Brummie !

    I worked in Stoke for a short while. In a pub one evening some old bloke started talking to me. Not having much in common I asked him if Stoke had been bombed during the War. He told me, "No. The Germans flew over and thought it already had been." True story.

    The Wolverhampton accent is far worse than the Brummie one.
