Its a small place york, stay there long enough and you'll know someone whose lost someone to the river, weird really.

Yeah, everyone I met there had a story of someone who at least had got in trouble in the river - I'm not sure if it has some weird currents or something or just that it's so near so many decent pubs.

It's a combination of pubs being close to the river and also currents being strong and weird because it's the confluence of the Ouse and the Foss. Also I think the river beds are mostly oozy mud so people go under and get stuck in until they drown.

the rivers dont meet until well passed the centre of town though? I dunno though, no fluid mechanics expert. Theres a plaque to a mate outside the kings arms. Sadly, he was young and drunk.

I'm still wondering how many extra bank holidays do we get out of it. Do we get one for the funeral, the coronation, or both? Does Rishi pull a fast one by holding the funeral and coronation on the same day? Do we get a bonus lockdown if she tests Covid-positive?

Yeah I guess it still has an effect on the currents upstream. Also I'm mostly going off something I was told in a pub by a fireman (I think) who had experience of trying to rescue people out of rivers in York.

Having lived there and being presented with the HR team on day one in full on blackface parading about at work, wow does calling them out on it cause some loving gammon behaviour. "it's just soot from the chimneys, it's tradition" they scream as they backpedal and in the same breath slag off immigrants. Most racist country I've ever lived in.

I like how you can tell the good morris dancers from the bad ones by which ones went "it's tradition! we've painted our faces since forever! of course it was probably traditionally woad or something originally. and there's lots of colours now that aren't racially derogatory. who fancies green, lads?" and which ones stopped halfway through that process.

On the plus side the UK is probably the safest place to export their poo to because we already have that particular prion disease endemic to the isles.

It's mainly that the river ouse is in a giant concrete lined channel with a fast current and few places to get out. The foss has negligible flow except for christmas 2015 when it turned into the thames.
