THE royal visit to Terry's was not enjoyed by everyone in York. One small boy took great exception to it.

As a 12-year-old I stood with my elder sister and her small son who became impatient and wanted to go home.

He was told to be patient as he was going to see the King. Whereupon he replied: "Bugger the King let's go home" and was soundly slapped for his treason.

M Allis,

Redcoat Way,

York.
