Hence cotton in Lancashire and wool in Yorkshire. But yesterday my wife went to the races (for the first time in her life) with an active retirement group and it was snowing.

It was the county of my birth, hence my username. Yorkshire people laugh at everything. They say "don't worry about the rain until it comes at you sideways in slivers of ice." It does rain a lot in Lancashire, because that is definitely not God's Own County. If there is any connection with the cotton industry,water would be needed for washing the cotton and dyeing and bleaching. Yorkshire woollen mills were built next to rivers or canals, water was needed to produce the steam that drove the looms. Wide canals carried coal from pit to mill. It was probably the same over the mountains in that other (much smaller) county. The old cottage weavers used to use the water in bubbling streams and rivers, to produce clean cloth. Anyway it is very cold indeed today, where I live. My current place of abode is a sort of, er, secret, that frees me to say my bishop is a nice old chap but ineffectual. I have lived in many places.

A little research showed that Lancashire's damp climate (some may call rainy!) was perfect for maintaining the moisture in fine cotton yarns. Anyway this is about ME being cold. I want a volunteer to take my dog out tomorrow.

I want a volunteer to take my dog out tomorrow. Sorry, I meant to send this stuff as response to a quote, not a report. When the report arrives, just ignore it. What I said was, either buy a doggy treadmill, or release a strange cat inside your house, or talk your nice, old, ineffectual bishop into doing the job.

This dog has one big appetite, and he has no problem with old (ineffectual) meat.

I picked up a customer today in the Maxi Taxi who migrated to Australia about 18 months ago from Yorkshire (or that is where she said her accent hailed from). Then you'll be complaining it's too hot. Our bishop's not ineffectual though.

Is your bishop effectual with wind and rainfall?
