• Julie: I've been one time about four years ago as a tourist.
• Liz: What did you see?
• Julie: I remember walking around the walls of the city.
• Liz: The old walls? The old protective...
• Julie: Yes! I don't think we did the whole tour around but...
• Liz: Okay, did you see the Shambles?
• Julie: Great question! I don't remember! It's been a minute…
• Liz: that old city, the old streets. Do you know this? The Shambles?
• Julie: What are the Shambles?
• Lyndon: Is it the old shopping street? I’m trying to think...

• Liz: Okay, what else is in York? Did you have Yorkshire tea?
• Julie: Oh! I'm always drinking Yorkshire tea because my husband is actually from Yorkshire, so.
• Liz: Very good! Scones?
• Julie: We don't have scones here actually, in our house but...
• Liz: He never makes them?
• Julie: No, he's not a good cook, so no. His accent is... the Yorkshire accent is something else, isn't it? It's very special.
• Liz: Awesome. My family is from Yorkshire so…
• Julie: So you could probably do a little bit for us, if you'd like?
• Liz: Oh I could : "Tha' can allus tell a Yorkshireman but tha' can't tell 'im much*".
