You know you're a Herefordian if....
1. You come from ‘Errfurd...not Hereford. And just to confirm, there is no ‘h’ in the ‘Errfurdian alphabet.
2. That thing that draws the smoke off your woodburner – it’s not a chimney, it’s a chimbly.
3. Somebody needs something doing urgently, you say: “I’ll do that now in a minute.”
4. You know the true meaning of mud.....Where else can you go out in the city centre, wake up in the morning, and your jeans are caked in mud from your walk home.
5. If you’re of a certain vintage and you used to frequent the Continental Cafe in Eigh Street, the Herefordian Cafe,The Hereford Brewery, Liptons, Ferris's,The Black and White Cafe, Moxleys, Harold’s Fish and Chip shop – feel free to add your own...
6. You’re looking forward to a brand new multi-screen cinema – nearly 30 years after the first one opened in the UK....
7. You call Greyfriar’s Bridge the ‘new’ bridge, even though it opened 46 years ago in 1967. Well it’s not medieval..
8. If you’ve been stuck behind/been at the wheel of(delete as appropriate) a tractor this week. There’s a good chance you learned to drive one before you could walk, or you’ve experienced regular bouts of road rage behind one – especially in the autumn – or you’ve been on the receiving end of bouts of road rage while trying to move your crops...
9. Whether or not you know the slightest thing about crop rotation, you turned up to Young Farmers' discos as a 15-year-old. And usually rubbed off the age-limit handstamp on the way to the bar.
10. You’ve never seen the Mappa Mundi (the what....?).
Thanks again...and keep 'em coming like....
