I've sent orders out to all my family back home but last year was totally let down. Two years without any...

Considering that "Parkin" is made in Yorkshire all year round, how come none for bommy night?

I am pleased to report the Black Peas have arrived in Yorkshire without any customs charges or any banditry at the border at Todmorden. Last time I lost several Black Puddings and a cache of Carrs Pasties....

One pea fell on the floor on first gander, took ages to find it but it has been safely recovered, don't worry, we do have an ongoing full one hundred percent Black Pea quota situation...

Tonight, we soak our peas, for tomorrow we do battle, steeping them, steeping them, and steeping them again. Steeping to the left of us, steeping to right.....

God I'm so excited I'm getting a chubby-on!

Sounds utterly disgusting. That sounds like the sort of muck a cockney would eat.

And in a polystyrene cup with a plastic spoon...

They're far more civilised in Yorkshire, you get pie and gravy instead.
