A Family (fairy) Story
On the death of the eldest Nun in the Convent in 1958, it was decided to place a notice in the paper.
After much deliberation they decided to title it "God, she is thine" and the Harrogate paper was duly instructed.
The day before the paper came out the “copy “ was sent to the convent, but on inspection the Nuns were horrified to find a typo, as it read "God, she is thin".
They telephoned immediately, and informed the receptionist "you have missed out the 'E'", and asked that the fault be rectified post haste.
The message was passed on to one of the printers and duly corrected.
Published in the paper the next day it read "e' God, she is thin".
Footnote:- Don and Betty met and got married while at Ackrills, she was on the switchboard and he worked in the print room - no body ever admitted to this mistake.
Recently at breakfast time they were overhead talking in the kitchen.
'I spy with my little eye something beginning with T' said Don"
"Tea pot said Betty" 'Nay Lass!'"
"Tea towel." 'Nay Lass!'
"Toaster" 'Nay Lass!' he said, drumming his fingers on the table top.
Finally knowing Don's sense of humour at the breakfasts table – she gave in and said "Tits”
'Nay Lass!'
"Oh I don't know then" she said with a sigh of relief "I give in"
'It's t'fanny!' - please contact us with answers to what happened next!
