Why Yorkshire is the only place to be at Christmas - GP Taylor

Back in the day, the highlight of my pre-Christmas festivities was looking in the shop window of Boyes store in Scarborough at the Christmas display. It was a magical event of elves, reindeer and Snow White that always ended with a visit to a very dodgy looking Father Christmas. How things have changed.

I may be the only police officer to have ever lost a Prime Minister. It happened in Helmsley market place when John Major paid a visit to a thousand, pre-election, blue-rinse supporters. I was under orders to open the car door, give a salute and follow him around. The car stopped. He got out with his protection officer and the PM promptly disappeared into the adoring mob.
