I AM not a Yorkie, I'm a Londoner, but I fully support the Evening Press's Eat Local campaign.
I am slowly weaning myself off my old supermarket habit to shop locally.
I have, however, noticed a bizarre anomaly.
When I shop in local independents, mostly in the city centre, the only York accents I hear are the ones belonging to the proprietors: the customers have a range of accents.
On my increasingly-rarer forays to my local out-of-town mega-superduper-all covered-in-plastic supermarket, the predominant accent among customers is local.
Could someone please tell me who values this great city most, because it certainly seems it isn't the people born and raised in it?
