what's the whole deal with "Ebor" in York?
seem to be so many firms with that in their name, Ebor Taxis, Ebor Hearing Healthcare, Ebor Nannies, Ebor Vehicle Hire etc and as you mentioned the Ebor race meet. I guess it has some historical meaning which has probably passed me by having only recently moved here. Do you have any idea or is it a big secret that only true York folk are allowed to know?
