Tickets please

[annie]

These Yorkshire folk are clever people.........


One morning 3 Yorkshire Lads and 3 Londoners were in a ticket queue at
Manchester Piccadilly train station heading to Euston for a Wembley cup
final.

The 3 Londoners each bought a ticket and watched as the 3 Yorkshiremen
bought just one ticket between        them.

"How are the 3 of you going to travel on one 1 ticket?" asked one of
the Londoners. "Tha must watch and learn" answered one of the
Yorkshiremen.

When the 6 travellers boarded the train, the 3 Londoners sat down, but
the 3 Yorkshiremen crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train left the station the Conductor came around to
collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "tickets
please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a
ticket in hand. The Conductor took it and moved on.

The Londoners saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return
trip and save some money.

That evening after the game the 6 walked together back to Euston
station, and the Londoners bought a single ticket for the return trip
while to their astonishment the 3 Yorkshiremen didn't even buy 1 ticket.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the
perplexed Londoners. "Tha must watch and learn", answered one of the
Yorkshiremen.

When they boarded the train the 3 Londoners crammed themselves into a
toilet and the 3 Yorkshire lads crammed themselves into another toilet.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Yorkshiremen left
their toilet and walked over to the Londoners toilet. He knocked on the
door and said "ticket please".
