The bank manager tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Yorkshireman hands over the keys and documents of his new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. After scrutinising the logbook and everything else checks out, the bank manager agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank manager and the bank staff all enjoy a good laugh at the rough-looking Yorkshireman for using a £120,000 Ferrari as collateral against a £5000 loan. The bank manager then instructs an employee of the bank to drive and park the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage.
Two weeks later, the Yorkshireman returns, repays the £5,000 and the interest of £15.41.
The bank manager says to the Yorkshireman, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely but, we are a little puzzled...
While you were away, we checked you out further and found that you are a multi-millionaire. We are puzzled as to why you would bother to borrow "£5,000”.
The Yorkshireman replies: "Where else in Leeds can I park my car for two weeks for only £15.41 and expect it to be there when I return"?
Ah, the mind of a true Yorkshireman...
This is why they survive.
Have a great day.
Keep smiling, keep laughing and keep writing.
