An American.........

tjt6768

An American photographer on vacation was inside a church in Oldham taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '£10,000 per call'. Being intrigued, he asked the priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and for £10,000 you could talk to god. The American thanked the priest and went on his way.

Next stop was Manchester.
There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if it was the same kind of phone he had seen in Oldham, and asked a nearby nun.
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and for £10,000 he could speak to god.

He travelled to Blackburn, burnley, Rochdale, littleborough and todmorden. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same £10,000 per call sign under it.


Upon leaving Lancashire, he decided to travel to Yorkshire, to see if the Yorkshireman had the same phone.
He arrived in Halifax and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '50p per call'.

The American was surprised by this and asked the priest about the sign.
'father, I have travelled all of Lancashire and I've seen this golden telephone in many churches. I'm told it's a direct line to heaven, but in Lancashire the price was £10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered
' you're in Yorkshire now, son. - its a local call.'

Nice try, Tony, but you got it wrong.
The Yank started off in Wakefield and went onto Bradford,York Huddersfield,
Harrogate and Doncaster.
When he came over the border into Lancashire he went into the church at Preston.

Despite the fact that I haven't lived in Yorkshire since I was 18, I still feel as though I'm coming home whenever I visit.

That's the thing about Yorkshire folk, Tony, they always make you feel so welcome, however long you've been away.
