 What a whopper by ricky52 York is a quaint little city, full of history with lots to see and do. However in the Shambles area, with its little cobbled streets, you may encounter problems moving around or even getting past these big bottomed girls, especially if they belong to a well known VT member.

As I was doing my research on York, it became apparent that I couldn't possibly see all of York in one day, I ended up scrapping a visit to the National Rail Museum, cutting short my visit to the York Castle Museum, not taking one of the organized walks and not stopping at Betty's for tea which is probably for the best anyways as every other visitor to York seemed to have it on their list of things to do. If you have the luxury, plan to spend at least a couple of days here and see York in a more leisurely fashion. Leave a Comment

Beware this man! He will lead you a merry dance around York, indulge in copious flag waving, make you Walk the Wall and give you numerous opportunities to stuff your fizzog with unresistable goodies. He also picks the windiest place in Britain to pass on his pearls of wisdom and then you get chilblains as he leads you into a pub to warm up. He leads you past roast meats which HAVE to be sampled. He yells at passing Pedestrians *I'M ON THE TRAAAAAAAAIN* causing fits of giggles. He holds up buildings with flags. Leave a Comment

 Bit of a queue...... by leics Betty's tea-rooms on St. Helen's Square are hugely and rightfully popular. However, this does mean that there are often very long queues for a table. The one in the picture was on a Saturday (around 12.30) in early September, in a year when the number of US and Japanese visitors seemed to be fewer than usual. So be warned. You may have a long wait. Alternatives are to either buy a fat rascal (or whatever) to take away, or to wander round the corner to 'Little Betty's on Stonegate, which is the same company in a smaller place, often less crowded but offering the same gorgeous cakes/teas etc. Leave a Comment

 Sun through a thick fog. by lou31 This is not a particularly dangerous thing but I was really intrigued by this. This is actually a photo of the sun. The fog was so thick you could look straight at it! Leave a Comment

Like most cities which attract large numbers of tourists, there are beggars in York and their numbers seem to have increased over the past few years. Some are drug addicts, some have mental health problems, some are alcoholic, some are homeless. Some play instruments, some don't. Most sit quietly and ask if you can spare any change. You are unlikely to encounter any aggression, and whether you give them money or ignore them is your choice. Leave a Comment

 Clearly not a chilly day........ by leics An ancient unrepealed law (there are rather a lot of UK laws which have never been taken off the statute books!) states that a citizen of York may kill any Scotsman within the city walls. Fortunately for the chap in this photo, they may only do so if he is carrying a bow and arrow. Leave a Comment

Can I introduce you to “Munga?” This little fellow is under medical supervision along with his mum “poons” After an afternoon session down at Plonkers beer and wine bar in York, Munga decided to show off. He climbed into this glass, got his @ss stuck, and could not get out. O how we did chuckle! Leave a Comment Phone: 999 and ask for the PoliceOther Contact: Warn your Grandmother

York is not a car friendly city. It is a nightmare to drive and park in. Car parks operate 7 days a week and the Wardens do too. If you think you can park somewhere for free, even for just a few minutes, forget it. You will be fined and/or clamped. There is no holiday from this misery. Car parks are frighteningly expensive as well. If you plan on driving to York, take a lot of coins with you. The only good thing is you can now pay via a mobile phone if your time starts to run out and you are not near the car.
