HOW about having a 'Politeness Week' for York. Instead of sailing through a doorway which someone has held open for you without a smile or a word, say "thank you" - it doesn't hurt, honest.
Instead of trying to walk through people in crowded Coney Street or Goodramgate, say "excuse me, please". You may get some funny looks but you will feel better.
Come on Yorkies, you can do it - let's P & Q it.
Oh, and don't forget, "Smile please".
