Places of Note From Ripon - “Ta Luv”

P9141635 

“We are two countries, separated by a common language”.  That was very evident when, soon after moving to Ripon, the cashier at the Boots Pharmacy above, says “ta luv” (“thanks love” in American) to mum after completing her transaction.

Mum was quite taken aback by being referred to as the cashier’s “love”.  I don’t recall if she expressed that to the cashier but she certainly did to us afterwards.
