At this time of year visitor numbers in York start to increase and we phenomenen of the schoolchildren crocodiles occurs. Crocodile is the local term applied to a long line of chattering schoolchildren on sightseeing trips to the city. Sensibly this crocodile has been broken into two groups. Sometimes if you are coming out of a shop and a crocdile is passing you may have to wait some time for it to pass before you can get out of the shop.

these are local school children on field trips? or do they come from other places?
Hi Yg,
they are not from a local school they are from further away and were spending several nights in the city. By chance I was in town that evening performing with the Morris and they came and sat in King's Square to watch us for about a half an hour. I can't remember where they said they were from but I do remember thinking that it was a good didstance away from York.
