Thread Name: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa, My Pressie has arrived
WEll a very anonymous parcel has just arrived, very welcome. It contains three books, one on Doncaster, two on Askern which appears to be a village near Doncaster.Now, I've put on my thinking cap, put myself in Sherlock Holmes mode, and come to the following conclusaion: I think my Secret Santa is probably from the village of Askern near Doncater. More than that I couldn't really say: probably a rather dour Yorkshire person, as there are no chocalate goodies, litle amuse-bouches, miniature bottles of whisky such as more frivolous Mudcat S Santas enclose(eg ones from Lancahire or other fun loving places). Also, as the books contain my favourite sort of industrial coal/canal sort of stuff, I would guess it is from a male type of person. Women are not generally interested in books about Tom Puddings and Sheffield keels(though this is obviously a bit of a generalisation, I could be wrong).
If the said person were to identify him(her)self, I would like to say thank you. I still haven't identified my 2008 Santa!
