BEING a York resident, I do not usually use the tourist facilities.

But on Saturday I took my grandson on a boat excursion.

On the way back, having turned around at Clifton Bridge, we came under attack from stone-throwing youths.

The boat was full of men women and young children, all of whom were tourists some from overseas.

Somebody could of been hurt.

This made York look like a third world country.
