I used to patrol York, I wanted to be Row boat cop!

I used to describe the Minster to tourists as an erection of Gothic proportions 😂

Yes some rivers are generally a bit akey but with the levels of whoopsie being dumped in them by the scumbag water companies are you really that confident of their swimability?

I would never stick my head under! 😆 There's a great new website that shows when the storm overflows have discharged into the rivers in Yorkshire to avoid swimming in extra sewage. (Like every day this week!) Thanks for reminding me to stick the link in the description! 😃
