I couldn't see his house...

I passed close to Bonavista the other day.

You should have flown a bit lower!

Umm, I wasn't flying I was walking:

Ah! You should have used a magnifying glass then!

You should have flown a bit lower!

Oh!
Absolutely!

...next time you go...

Thanks but it's likely to be a while before I'm back there.

Meanwhile, your signature is not quite right. You can can get owt for nowt in Yorkshire, as long as you "allus do it fer thissen."

Perhaps someone has determined that Americans shouldn't be baffled.

Hi Bob.
What part of "I couldn't see his house..." didn't you understand?

I remember the account of a traffic incident where, on the road approach to a level crossing, there was a sign (on each side) which read:
Do not cross while the lights flash

The car of a Yorkshire motorist waited in front of the level crossing for quite some time until the lights started flashing, whereupon the car crossed immediately in front of a speeding train. (In YorkshireSpeak "while" means "until".)

The sign (which was perfectly valid for the remainder of the UK) had to be changed to read:
Do not cross when the lights flash

An example of your signature in action.

I thought the "I'm lost" 404 message was appropriate to Ken's passing Bonavista.

As to the 404, I googled and found the BBC Anglophenia page yet got the same 404 page when I searched for the eight words. Perhaps my VPN needs changing from the US, eh?:

Well, Bob, it will be a thousand days next October 31 that I have been suggesting that you move to Bonavista.
If nothing else, we will need to put the kettle on only once when Ken next drops in.
Plus: YOU will be able to stand at the foot of the remaining driveway and see my house any time you want.
Which may not make Ken jealous, but when someone has a stuckling it's nigh on impossible to make them jealous of anyone!
