Just noticed the fine is 50% of weekly wage- what a joke. It'll cost me more cuz I earn more. Good chance of it. My missus has been sent on two, rather than pay the fine.

This is hugely weird. I'm amazed that you're amazed. Christmas cake and Wensleydale is a classic combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to tag you and ask you, is this Yorkshire thing purely or is it widely known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got so used to it that I assumed it was widely practiced, but no, turns out it is basically a Yorkshire thing. My wife is a bigger fan of the combo than I am, tbh - but only if the cake is without the marzipan and icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I heard 35 and below was a course. Wish I was on the dole as it'd cost about 50 quid fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you want to pay more than £5 a week, but then sometimes, I think some people have to pay too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
