Mock ye not! The fact remains that papers are read in Barnsley. 'Tis reliably reported that in certain parts of a neighbouring county the only function that newsprint has is that of wrapping, either tripe, cow heels or fish and chips!

This must be Derbyshire to which you refer, not to your Lords and Masters who defeated you in Battle so many years ago

These "Lards and Mosters" that are refered to; would they perchance be of the red rose variety? The same ones who now enjoy a reasonable sized manor since a good slice of the West Riding was given to them in 1974?

Careful Raggy, if you don't play nicely your host county might ask you to go live in red rose land..so much less congenial for duelling purposes.

As for why Ron wants to know - well perhaps he has an enquiring mind, and I would hardly class the info as a state secret.

Indeed. Are we hearing the cry that "we were best" because we slaughtered more people in a totally sycophantic war supporting a "Lard and Master" who had little more regard for ordinary people than cannon fodder who's lives could be bloodily ended so that they could lay their grubby mits on the crown of England?

The reason that I want to know is

My wife and I went on a cruise on the golden princess from Barcelona to Venice leaving barcelona on August 9 2003

we met a lovely couple
here is the story that was published last frin in the chronicle

by Andrew Harrod
AMERICANS Ron and Teresa Edwards are trying to trace a Barnsley couple they met on a Mediterranean cruise in August. All they know is that the couple were called John and Trish but they never got their surnames. John is an ex-miner who now works in the printing trade and Trish works for her daughter who owns a clothing shop. Both were in their early 40s. Ron, of Long Island,New York and Florida, for the winter said: "They were a lovely couple we would love to visit Yorkshire some time and we would love to have them visit us." Ron can be contacted at 240 Belfast Lane, Ridge, NY 11961 or by email — [e-mail]...
if any of you can help please do

Ron just seen your earlier reply and subsequent from Raggytash and Mrs Duck, I do indeed remember your letter in the Barnsley Chronicle
There can't be too many Printers left in Barnsley (I'm native Barnsley) also Barnsley Star (sub of Sheffield Star) has a good following, printed every evening

Best of luck with your quest!

Well I asked everyone at work (I work in Barnsley) just on the off chance so maybe the word will spread. One colleague's husband is a taxi driver who often takes people to the airport so she is going to ask him (presumably they will have flown to the boat). More than that I cannot do! Hope you find them.
