We could have a beer in the Back Bull on Garstang Road and you could tell me all about it

I saw a report on the local TV news about this. The father and son team were interviewed in the field where they made their discovery.

Interviewer: "Tell me - how did you feel to find the greatest horde of viking treasure for over 150 years, reckoned to be worth over £750,000?"

Father, completely straight-faced, in a very dry Yorkshire accent: "Quite pleased."

It was a really funny moment.
