Coppergate

I had to go and see the minister today who will preside over my mother's funeral. We met in Starbucks, Coppergate. Now Coppergate, York, derives from the Viking for 'The Street of the cup makers'. The Vikings made wooden cups. Guess what, I watched episode 7 of Vikings from the History channel tonight. Ragnar and the others were smashing English plates, because they were used to wooden ones!
