2. Humberside. Once part of Yorkshire, but made a unitary authority some years ago. Basically ditto the above apart from there being no countryside.

Aha! I won’t deny that applies with some people - however, hubby (and other male drivers) who are chatty & friendly get the same (well obviously not always the same!) response. There’s a fair few ladies to meet & greet us all at depots too
What is this with London?? Why is there such a dread when the name is mentioned I’m not too keen on Birmingham but I’m a driver and I get paid to drive, send me wherever - but get me home on Friday
