The George and Dragon in East Riding of Yorkshire

So pleased food is back on at this lovely pub. Booked a table on Sunday night. Lovely welcome as usual. Food is absolutely fabulous. Homemade brownies to die for! Had a lovely meal and will be back.

Took my Dad for a birthday meal. The food was excellent, cooked to perfection, and well worth every penny we will most definitely be visiting again and 100% Recommend

Excellent service and food was absolutely beautiful the steak pie was amazing highly recommend a visit parking area to the rear of the building

Good value for money. Proper home made food. Highly recommended. Wide selection of deserts. Thanks really enjoyed it.

Couldn't find a more friendly, nice and welcoming spot for me and Maggie poodle to have moment to gather ourselves together, Thanks Michelle and Andy

brilliant food and fantastic selection on the menu something for everyone and especially if you have special dietary requirements. friendly staff and all round great for families.. highly recommended for all

After struggling to find somewhere to eat on a bank holiday Monday we were recommended this place. Honestly the food was some of the best I’ve had. The steak pie was incredible and my very fussy children loved theirs too. Puddings were honestly amazing. The staff were lovely and the chef came out to chat too! (Plus there’s WiFi and slushies so the kids were even happier! If id known I’d have brought the puppy too!)

This pub is a little gem and well worth a visit. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. All the main meals we had were excellent quality and the prices were extremely good. The sweets looked gorgeous but we didn't have room for any after our lovely meals. Andy and Michelle, and all the staff work incredibly hard to deliver really good food and drinks to everyone, so keep up the good work as we really appreciated it👍😊🍻🍽

Brilliant village pub,have been a couple of times now,never been let down, food always been great,and hot, atmosphere lovely, very welcoming, good job I don't live nearby 😂

We visited the pub on a Monday evening and it was reasonably busy, which is excellent. We received a very friendly welcome from Andy and his wife. We have been visiting this pub for many years and so pleased it has reopened again. The food and service were both extremely good. We both ordered fish and chips, and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely visit again and have recommended the venue to friends and family. We had a lovely evening, thank you.

Called on the off chance it was open. What a little gem. Proper village pub with a chirpy welcome from the resident parrot in the bar area. Gorgeous home cooked food. My elderly father had steak pie with mashed potatoes and peas, supplied with a jug of home cooked gravy. Washed down with a nice pint of Black Sheep ale. Ample portion size. I had the shepherds pie with three veg and roast potatoes. Wonderful and very filling. Clean plates all round. Nice roaring fires 🔥 and very friendly staff. We will certainly be back. I’d recommend anyone to try it. Ample parking at the rear of the pub.

It was getting late on Sunday afternoon and we hadn't had our dinner, so we nipped into the George and Dragon and asked if they were still serving Sunday Dinners, and was surprised when they said yes. Our meal was absolutely gorgeous, you could define what each piece of food tasted like, not like some that all taste the same. Separate tureens for the vegetables and lovely roasted beef gravy yum! Guess what were coming back for another meal soon :-)

Called in with the dogs after reading the reviews , sat in the beer garden with my G&T deciding on what to order . Went for the gammon Sunday dinner , other half choose pork . Well we weren’t disappointed, amazing , the full mashings and all home cooked to perfection . So much so I ordered a pudding !

Stopped here by chance last night after struggling to find somewhere that could cater for 7 without an hour long wait! We were so glad that we did!! The food (all homemade & fresh) was amazing and there was plenty of it. All 7 meals were cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. Even though we were all stuffed, we had to try the desserts!! Again, we weren't disappointed. Fresh, tasty and presentation outstanding! Staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and couldn't do more for us. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area and we will be sure to visit again when we come back next year.

Called in here today with my good lady wife and two young children. The barman was convivial and took an interest in the real ale (which was spot on). My wife enjoyed her pink gin and the children enjoyed making friends with the owl in the beer garden. All in all we were made very welcome in this pub which is full of character and the beer garden is a great sun trap. I look forward to returning and sampling the food.

During a recent visit to the village we decided to pay the 'local' a visit. Having looked on other social media sites, it was uncertain as to whether the pub was even open! One page ranted on about various reasons why the pub had closed!! Another, more recent page indicated it had reopened!! On a lovely evening we ventured into the 'beer garden'. It is completely overgrown and uncared for! The view to the pub was one of dirty windows, curtains hanging off the rails and a general feel of not caring. Our drinks were a pint of Bombardier and a glass of wine. Beer tasted off (not drunk and left on the table). The glass of wine was served in a lipstick marked glass! Would I eat here? Definitely no!! Come on new people!! Show some care and attention!!

We really enjoyed the food here, in this lovely old pub. It has an open fire which makes it feel cosy. The food was good, the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Iconic pub that has been through many changes of hands..we had really very good food here. Roast dinner with Fresh veg, with cauliflower cheese, and cheesy leaks as lovely extras. The best vegetarian gravy ever with my veg pie with homemade pastry lid. Portions could be smaller to make it more profitable though? The downside of this very old pub is that it needs an injection of cash to refurb it. Although it looks better in the dining room than before, over all the toilets need doing and it needs some interior styling and new stuff like a proper coffee machine. They could then offer mums with prams coffee and cake on certain mornings or afternoons as there are plenty walking by for school runs! The plus sides are the charming open fires and ample parking and the food- it really should be packed for dinners as the food is good (although the menu is too large- thinking of the Gordon Ramsay rule!) The TV has no place in the dining room as there’s one in the bar anyway. The man serving us was friendly but no smiles or communication from the lady behind the bar. Also it would help if they dressed in a simple uniform- eg black shirt as they all looked too casual. The pub needs to make itself known for the good home cooked food and ask the brewery for help with refurbishments. It could be as busy as The Stag at Lelley with investment and tweaking! Please go and support 😃

We have visited today and had one of the best Sunday lunches out the food was excellent and the service was very friendly and unhurried the pub is lovely and cosy with a roaring fire plus they have a lovely friendly parrot and a stunning owl in residence we will definitely be back I would recommend booking as lots of people were turned away for lunch as they where fully booked up

The George and Dragon have new owners. We visited over a year ago and it was excellent. Today we came by and it was fantastic. We had a vegetarian Sunday “roast” with all the trimmings - stuffing, roast potatoes, gravy, green beans, Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire pudding, carrot and sweet potato mash. It was incredible. The selection well surpassed all of our expectations. They were playing an interesting selection of 1980s music. Everything from Van Halen, to Tracy Chapman, Starship to REO Speedwagon. It brought back a lot of great childhood memories. They also have a beautiful African Grey Parrot. Her name is escaping me but she is delightful, she even knows how to dance ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon out. My boyfriend and I do not get to spend a lot of time together and I am going back home soon. It was the perfect afternoon out for us. We really appreciate it.

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch at the George.. highly recommended, friendly polite staff and refurbished to a really nice and cosy standard, will certainly be back

No food there at the moment No chef We were disappointed on Sunday Not sure when food will be served again The pub is up to let

We recently went to the George and Dragon to celebrate my Uncles birthday, and the pub was very close by and easy for him to get to. As it was chosen for ease of location rather than anything else we didn't know what to expect, but my, what a nice surprise! A homely 'proper' pub; lovely friendly people; simple, excellent food (the steak pie is a must!); great service with a smile and some good fun along the way. And oh so reasonable! Well done guys, and thank you for a lovely afternoon.

My wife could not make it for xmas dinner following a foot op.so Paul and Trina kindly did us a takeaway dinner,spot on,enjoyed it so much, saved our christmas many thanks to both of them.

Went into this pub as it is near to where some friends live and we had just visited them. Did not know what to expect. Really warm and beautifully decorated with Christmas items. Really friendly and caring staff. Extensive menu (and lots of old items from Victorian and before newspapers between lists of food .. fascinating) . All home made fare . Fresh, hot and excellent . Vegetables that you helped yourself to . Lovely coffee in a cafetiere . Really surprised and pleased. I hate it when I go in somewhere and there are no fresh vegetables and its chips etc throughout the menu. Had a starter for £1 as we were having a main meal too. That was breaded garlic mushrooms and they were so hot I had to wait a few moments (don't like lukewarm food that has been left to stand). Lovely plentiful salad with those too. Will be back again.

Four of us went to the George & Dragon yesterday for the first time. Not sure what to expect but the meal was great. At least five sorts of steak pies. Three of us had steak and mushroom and one had BBQ. The pies were all homemade in big trays and the portion you got had plenty of meat very tasty. You also helped yourself to vegtables. We also had a dessert, two of us had apple crumble with cream and two had a big slice of cake with cream. All desserts were delicious. When you order the pie at the bar for £6.95 you can add a starter or dessert for a £1.00. Great food at a good price. Will definitely be going again.

Visited on thursday night great welcome 4 of us had a meals and sweets brilliant. Please keep it up you will be my new local.

Has become a bit of a local for us when we are through visiting family in the village. Carvery spot on, reasonable price, pudding for a £1 extra. Paul and Trish are lovely and so welcoming and down to earth. Great local atmosphere and our dog Doug has even become a very welcomed regular in there with the staff and the locals :-)

Went here due to the nice reviews on trip advisor as not from the area. It was lovely food great service and fab decor. Very friendly staff and locals. My son is a picky eater and we were so surprised his plate was empty so thank you for that never seen him eat so much. If we come back we will defo be back here for another carvery.

The George and Dragon is a nice little pub in Aldborough. The food is delicious. The vegetable soup is amazing! I saw it recommended on Trip Advisor and gave it a go. We went on a Sunday and they had a carvery going on. They also offer Quorn selections for vegans and vegetarians, which were very delicious. We had chips as well and they were cooked nice and brown - they were perfect. The menu is chalked full of selections. Every other page has an interesting old, local story.

23 / 07 / 2017 fuimos un domingo, nuestra primera visita, nosotros al ser nuevo en el pueblo, gratamente sorprendidos por la acogida del personal, y un montón de espacio en el bar para ir con nuestra primera copa, chef/propietario vinieron y nos preguntaron si queríamos ofrecerte temprano o esperar nuestro tiempo reservado, que era la primera vez.

Llamado para un aperitivo y una pinta y fue sorprendido por los diversos pasteles de carne y selección de verduras frescas locales. Así que decidimos comer era realmente buena calidad y excelente relación calidad-precio. El personal era agradable y bien informado de la fuente de los productos. Iremos de nuevo.

Fuimos siguiendo un paseo Aldbrough.

Lovely food, good service absolutely fabulous. The steak pie was cooked to perfection, I would recommend the George and Dragon to my friends and family.

Myself and partner visited here on Sunday after winning a 3 course meal on a raffle at our caravan site,we just sat at table and was seen straight away by a lovely lady who we later found out was a caravan owner on our site,we were then seen to and introduced himself as Paul and he took our order and made us really welcome,service was quite quick and sufficient starters where spot on then we had a cavery main which again was lovely and fresh but we couldn't eat sweet as we were both full from the starter and main,no bother to Paul as he had our sweets boxed up so we could take away.recommend the sticky toffee pudding was gorgeous and home made thanks again we will be back

I am disabled and the staff there could not do enough to help/accommodate me.Three of us went for lunch and all had enjoyable meals. I had the scampi, chips and salad which was very nice and reasonably priced.The only negative I found was that the menu could me made simplistic by removing the historical facts of the pub and just leave the menu as a menu.The historical facts could be left in a separate folder for patrons to peruse at their leisure. This though did not spoil our meal and was in fact our third visit to the George and no doubt will be visiting again very soon.Special praise must go to Rosie who as ever was always on hand to help.

Having been told about the carvery here we had been wanting to try it for ages. Luckily we had a Sunday off together and decided to try it out. We are so pleased we did. The food is absolutely wonderful couldn't fault it one bit. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back soon. Thanks again

Visited today for the first time, had Sunday lunch my husband had the carvery I had the meat pie the food was very good the meat was excellent. For desert I had the Death by Chocolate Cake again was excellent my husband enjoyed the apple and pear crumble The chief was welcoming coming out of the kitchen chatting to customers. The dining area was pleasant, clean, nicely set out. Staff were friendly. The bar area before you get to the dining area is in need of some TLC but don't be put off it the dining area was very busy. Would visit again if in the area.

.we use the pub a lot for meals the food is very good the sevice is excellent trish and paul the landlord and land lady are brill nothing is to much trouble for them many thanks lynne and john

Passing by on Sunday,thought we'd call in and have some lunch.We decided to have the carvery and found it to be quite good with plenty of choice.Afterwards,wife and I had cake which was excellent.The dining area was pleasant and clean and the staff were excellent.Lunch,pudding and drinks for two came to approx £23,reasonable.Now for the downside!When we entered the pub,we walked past the bar in order to get to the dining room.Perched on a row of stools at the bar were what I assume were the local goons slaking their thirst.They were unable to communicate without using foul language,not even bothering to lower their voices when doing so.All this within earshot of the bar staff,who just ignored it.I must say that I am not a prude,I can cuss with the best of them but I do believe that there is a time and a place for it.I would not take my kids/grandkids into that environment.Is the landlord that desperate for trade that he/she will put up with anything?

After winning a 3 course lunch for two, we visited The George and Dragon to day. We were greeted by the Landlord who we found to be friendly and very welcoming, as were all the staff. The food was good pub grub. Would certainly visit again if ever we happened to be in the area.

Won lunch for two on the local rugby lottery so went along. Glad I did the food was excellent the service was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The landlord and landlady bent over backwards for you. Definitely go back this time I'll pay.

Four of us visited the George and Dragon in Aldborough at about 3.30pm on Saturday. We had booked a table but it was fairly quiet. We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff and given a very varied menu and information regarding the carvery. We all decided on the pies - steak and potato/steak and mustard or steak and onion. We were served a large slice of pie plus a home made yorkshire pudding and then helped ourselves to veg. A great choice of fresh veg - carrot and potato mash/sprouts/cabbage/peas & sweetcorn/carrots plus a lovely gravy. We all licked our plates clean! The steak was VERY tender, the pastry superb and the veg beautifully cooked. A proper home cooked lunch. Together with 4 lager shandies the bill came to £32 for the four of us. A great meal and value for money. We highly recommend the food and we shall be returning very shortly. Worth a try if you enjoy hearty home cooked food.

Service: 9/10Ambience: 7/10 cost: 50p for a game of poolWhat a great little pub!! The staff were friendly and helpful even when I didn't know what beer I was ordering! Next time I go back I will defiantly give the food a try, but a very nice place with a pool table.

We ended up at the George and dragon by accident - serendipity in fact - What a lovely surprise. Came in the back door from the car park and ordered a drink at the bar. Didn't realize there was a hidden restaurant/carvery area behind the curtains.They had a fantastic choice on the menu and a special 'pie' menu ( too many pies to mention ) all home cooked, which included a starter and pudding for £1 each if you ordered the pie. The service was excellent and all the food is home cooked. It was lovely to find this hidden gem. Will be taking the family soon.

Just called in for sunday lunch.Fantastic food lots of choice on carvery lots of meats to choose from and help yourself to veg as much as you want. Friendly staff couldnt say no to a pudding .Definitely will be back again

We moved into our second house back in July 16. Today was the first time we had been into the pub. We had two English breakfasts and we were not disappointed! The food was absolutely excellent. Afterwards we walked from the restaurant into the bar, where we bumped into the landlords. All I can say is what a lovely couple of people. We stood next to the open fire and spoke to them for about 20 minutes. We actually popped in for a drink this afternoon aswell, with our two dogs. We will certainly be regulars every time we come to the village.

Very good Sunday lunch for the price choice of meats at the carvery or off the special board Steak pie when we visited and help yourself to plentiful choice of veg and potatoes. Didn't have room for dessert but they looked really good. Friendly staff will definitely go again

Very tasty the meat is loverly and tender you get loads and then help yourself to veg roast potatoes and gravy Yes will definitely be back

Visited thus pub on a number of occasions as a couple and with grandchildren always been very pleasent and friendly new owners very welcoming lovely hot food will be back x

We happened to be passing last Sunday and noticed they did Sunday roasts so feeling peckish we called in. Got a nice welcome from the young man behind the bar and in no time ordered our eats and drinks. The place could do with a bit of an update but it was clean and anyway its not the wallpaper I was there to eat. Our food came after about ten minutes, served by a lovely young lady and it looked delicious. I had roast pork and enjoyed every mouthful whilst my wife made a valiant attempt to eat a huge all day breakfast. We both agreed it was the best pub grub we have tasted for quite some time. Well done to the chef and we shall be calling again.

Went in and the entire place was filthy! When waiting for food to arrive I even was shocked to see what looked like either a mouse or a rat run out of the door and had to leave immediately, DO NOT VISIT

Beer was pleasant but the whole area outside was depressing and we escaped the football inside and the smokers outside and sat in the overgrown garden.Under new management so the signs said but nothing food wise available at lunchtime. I am sure it becomes better at the weekend but for a lunchtime drop in this was very depressing and rather sums up the problem s rural pubs face.

Went back for a meal a few years after enjoying the last meal we had there only to find it had changed hands and had a standard uninspiring menu.The set price was not suitable for vegetarians and they suggested that I just had vegetables and potato (at the same price as others who were having full meals) !!!!

Popped in here today, which will soon be our new local! Very friendly landlord and parrot. Very welcome open fire on a cold day. Would recommend the Sunday roast. See you in the New Year.

Plenty of roast potatoes served with the Sunday lunch by customer focused hosts. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. Kids loved the parrot as a distraction while the food was prepared. Great value for money will go again,look forward to trying other options which they offer.

Called in for the Sunday lunch as advertised on the board outside. As pensioners we do look for value for money and felt that 7.50 for 2 courses very good value. Unfortunately we got what we paid for as they say. All frozen stuff reheated and pretty tasteless.Lumpy mash, soggy frozen yorkshire puds and roast potatoes, watery gravy and the usual horrible peas and carrots with a small portion of leeks in white gooey sauce ( maybe also out of a freezer pack?) Small pudding,not homemade with packet custard. All edible but not somewhere to go again.Nice greeting and friendly staff, clean tables but awful thumpy music to spoil the experience.

On arrival we where greeted warmly, the wood fire was most appreciated, the staff were very attentive, the food was clearly all homemade, and absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit :)

called here again today a party of three of uswe all ordered the Hawaiian chicken /chicken wrapped in bacon cooked in pineapple and barbeque sauce served with fresh pineapple and fruit and saladand the best chips I've eaten since the last time i ate herethe meal took about half an hour to arrive but you are informed of this by several notices around the bar/dining area as the meals are cooked fresh to orderwhen it arrived the presentation was picture perfect, piping hot served in a very friendly mannerthe portions were man-size to say the least,we all said no way that lot will be eaten ! but it was after a struggle the whole meal was enjoyed in a relaxed unhurried atmosphere the price of this gastronomic masterpiece under £8-00 a headthe beer was as good as the meal all in all a very pleasant experiencelook forward going back in the near future

Just stayed in a caravan close to the pub, popped in for a meal, the portions were enormous, trays provided to take food home-which took 3 days to eat! the food was homemade and of great quality, the service was friendly. If you are staying within 20miles of the pub it is well worth the drive, but be prepared for the very large portions. We will definitely go again.

We visited this pub having moved to the area in January, we have wanted to find a pub that serves good , proper, English pub grub. Somewhere we can go to have meals when we decide to go out for tea or Sunday lunch. By god we have finally found what we have been looking for after being dissapointed by other local hostelries.We ordered the Meat pie, Toad in the hole and my wife had quiche with salad.Firstly the meat pie was deliciously home made , lots of mash and vegetables . The gravy was made from meat stock, not gravy granuals at all, proper gravy.Our little girl had the toad in the hole. It was a huge home made Yorkshire pudding with 5 sausages, enough for all of us. My wife said she didnt want much so she opted for the quiche....Huge portion, wonderful home made quiche and home made chips with a beautiful salad.Will we go again........Definitely.Only complaint was there wasnt any real ales on at the moment but I believe they normally do have.Keep up the good work

not been in here for a couple of years (big mistake)if you like a plateful this is the place they are not for weight conscious we both had the pie me steak and onion the wife steak and potato with mash, chips for mehad to wait probably 20 -25 mins (the wheelbarrow was in use serving someone else, he.he.he)but seriously two rather large platters arrived with our meal and jaw dropping is the only apt descriptionin both cases a large portion of pie plus a trowel full of lovely fluffy mash I was told and a hefty portion of FRESH COOKED chips for me, men's chips too, not McCain. proper hand cut pieces of potato cooked to perfection in the last 10 mins not at 9-00 this morning and warmed through plus 5 different veg the plate was groaning under it all and a large gravy boat if you needed morethe meal was piping hot served by staff who obviously took pride in their work and in customer satisfaction, all we spoke to were friendly helpful and interested ,not the have a nice day typesa family with a 2yr old sat near was given a small plate so mum and the grandparents could put him some pieces of veg on his plate a nice consideration I thoughtthe meal alone on our plates would have fed 5 the price very reasonable for the amount and quality the beer very good and varying sectionsa surprisingly wide and varied menu inc veggie curry Chinese grill and a Sunday roast one poor soul had this and the Yorkshires must have been cooked in a dustbin lid the size of them massive while the décor could do with a spruce up its clean warm (open fire ) and friendly I've waited longer in five star places had bad meals and false smiles and paid a lot morethis in my opinion it is five star plus meals 12-00. 5-00pm not sure about evenings expect around £12-00 a head inc a pint there are plastic cartons provided for tomorrow's dogs dinner (wuffwuff) if you can't finish it all so go relax enjoy the meal and get a taxi you won't feel like a long drive after 23-03 2014

Recently stayed at The George and Dragon for a few nights whilst taking part in The European Open Fishing Championships. Could not have been more pleased, firstly by the price and then by the menu and food on offer. The rooms are basic but clean and the beds are very comfortable. The pub accommodates various numbers in various rooms, so that if as a group, you can all stay together. Now we come to the "Food" ! I ordered the Beef Stroganoff. I was looking forward to this meal as I had not eaten all day. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, all I was led to believe, was that the meals were large. When it did come out, I had to look twice and looked around the pub for others, who were here to join me and help me get through it. It came out on a plate that I am used to cutting up a Very Large Christmas Turkey on.! Normal size I was told for every meal here. The stroganoff was delicious, thick and creamy with tender beef strips. With this meal came the best chips ever, rice, salad, with various ingredients, but what surprised me most was the "Strawberries" which, after adding to everything were brilliant, something I would not have thought about. The "Bowl" of stroganoff would have fed an Army, end of. I did manage to devour 90% of this meal and enjoy every mouthful. Pudding? No Way.!! In conversation after finishing this meal, someone at the Bar said, If you think that was big then have breakfast, starting with "A Dustbin Full Of Cornflakes". We did have breakfast and out it came,!. Just to get the idea, think of everything you can think of that goes on a breakfast plate, then triple the quantity and layers you might get the idea of what I am talking about here. Go there, see it to believe it. End Of. Oh and yes, if you are there for the fishing, Lisa the Landlady has Just taken up Fishing and has a new rod and reel, so spare the time to give her some useful tips. Brilliant place, brilliant Pub, Brilliant restaurant, and Very Nice Land Lord and Lady. We will Be Back, very soon.

This Inn is on the road from Hornsea to Withernsea we nearly missed it but glad we didn`t the food was absolutely delicous beer super food EXCELLENT served perfectly with a smile if you don`t like waste may I suggest you order a small portion as the usual size was just too much having said that the rest of the meal was absolutely superb I am sure you won`t be dissapointed the only thing left to say is ENJOY THIS SUPER FOOD also te hosts were very friendly.

We went into The George and Dragon approx. 10 months ago, having been in once.many years ago,and came out later totally amazed by this experience....We only wanted a snack and viewed the menu to see what we could enjoy!!!! I have eaten many meals out and have a passion for Gammon and Eggs... In this pub, you have to wait for your meals as they are cooked to order,but rest assured,you will never be disappointed here by the wait, The meal that came on our table was without question,one of the best I ever tasted. The plate was filled with gammon/eggs beans/tomatoes and a side salad.Plus a large portion of chips. my wife had scampi and side salad with an equal portion of chips, and in essence too much really for each of us...we have been in several times since this first visit and they have never been smaller, only another meal enjoyed by me at least is their all day breakfast which is the largest I have ever seen, other meals on the menu are as good,by watching others struggle to finish them,and in most cases not succeeding..It thoroughly deserves a visit by anyone who holidays in that area... We don't mind travelling over 20 miles each way to have a meal there as the meals and pub is worth everfyh penny spent on the pleasure....A gem in any language
