This from the very man who had a go at me for telling someone who was asking about folk clubs about a folk concert. You couldn't make this stuff up. DtG |

12 Dec 17 - 08:51 AM (#3893522) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: GUEST,Malcolm Storey Fortunately or unfortunately (whichever way you wish to look at it) Judy and I are once again in Australia during the so called festive season. We have very happy memories of time spent in Whitby at this time of year but the lure of warmth on the bones will always win. On our journey out we changed trains at Huddersfield (30th November) and Judy felt her knees jumping up and down with the cold. Have a good time all and each and we will no doubt bump into most of you between March and November 2018 (if we are spared). All the best. PS Australians think Rudolph the red nosed reindeer is a carol. |

13 Dec 17 - 07:35 AM (#3893695) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: GUEST,Malcolm Storey Just had an email from Margaret Walters who is a real Ozzie and we will be meeting up with her soon and spending some time house sitting for her in January. Any old how she and some friends have latched on to the Sheffield Carols and have just had a really good do in Sydney doing the very same. Ian & Norma Russell's son Joe lives in Sydney and has been singing the carols since before he could read and has been a real help. It was their second session and great things are predicted. Thought folks in the frozen north might like to know. Keep wrapped up - see you soon ish. |

14 Dec 17 - 07:31 AM (#3893932) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Mo the caller I'm not convinced that Whitby exists when it's not the week before the August bank Holiday. Ah well, maybe 'Whitby, but now as we know it' |

14 Dec 17 - 07:41 AM (#3893934) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Dave the Gnome I went to Whitby in January once. It was flippin' freezin' but the young folks thereabouts were still walking round in what to an old bloke like me seemed to be their underwear! Must be the Geordie influence :-) DtG |

14 Dec 17 - 07:47 AM (#3893937) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Raggytash Mo, if you come over the period just before New Year you wouldn't know the difference !! |

14 Dec 17 - 04:42 PM (#3894012) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: The Sandman Dave, quote When referring to the people, as opposed to the dialect, dictionary definitions of a Geordie typically refer to "a native or inhabitant of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, or its environs", an area that encompasses Blyth, Ashington, North Tyneside, Newcastle, South Tyneside and Gateshead, how does it have any bearing on Whitby? |

15 Dec 17 - 04:23 AM (#3894057) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Raggytash Dave was referring to the way young people dress, or more to the point don't dress, for the adverse weather. |

15 Dec 17 - 04:57 AM (#3894059) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: The Sandman ok so what has geordies got to do with anything, i have not noticed that they dress differently from other people or in a more scanty fashion. |

15 Dec 17 - 05:07 AM (#3894061) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Raggytash The young Geordies are noted for going out at night in adverse weather wearing next to nowt. |

15 Dec 17 - 06:51 AM (#3894075) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Mo the caller They do it round Manchester too. But people from the NE must be hardy souls, when I used to visit inlaws in Beverley I needed to wrap up - it's colder than Cheshire. |

17 Dec 17 - 05:31 AM (#3894293) Subject: RE: Whitby Xmas From: Mo the caller Quite amusing returning to the car after the Playford Ball in Macclesfield. The streets were full of half dressed youngsters + older folks in 16th & 17th century costume. |
