Old Dalesmen Rambler goes into pub, orders his pint and sits down near three old dalesmen. After about ten minutes of all round silence, he hesitantly suggested that the weather was kind. A further ten minutes cogitation brought the response from one "Aye but I reckon it will rain tomorrow" Ruminating on this bold prophesy another peered throgh the window after a further ten minutes and said "I reckon it'll keep up". The third Dalesman after a similar interval stood up, emptied his glass, and announced "A'hm bahn. 'can't stand all this argyfying".
