I tried that: they came up with the excuse that they couldn't hear me over the recording of "Rule Britannia" I was playing on my phone.
Tea?

They carefully design supermarket loaves so that they never fit any known make of toaster. You always have to trim bits off to make them fit.

Try playing On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at instead!
That'll show them. Especially if you can sing along with the correct wording.
Well, I got there. Total time to load the car then get there and back was just over 1hr. About 40mins in the queue - just about acceptable to get rid of a carload. People were in the queue for 3-4 hours last week!

Two hours queueing yesterday was a quick visit to the tip here.

Know about the tune, the words were written by someone who attended one of four local churches nearby.* Two of which Wesley is recorded as visiting. The song writer sang in three of these churches, in the choirs. At the furthest, 1/2 mile from where I'm sat now.
Arnold Kellett, President of the Yorkshire Dialect Society for the last ten years of his life.
Also in the choir at the Parish Church, and owner of a nearby pub, 27 steps down from one of the Churches.

The weather here seems to be still in the morning and then a Northerly wind in the afternoons. I have no idea how all that air gets back to where it started so it can do the same again the next day.
Anyway, this has given rise to plans involving riding north in the morning for the next bike ride and getting a tailwind on the way back.
