YAML's parsing of `no` as `False` has not been part of the spec for 13 years now. It was changed in YAML 1.2 in 2009 to only be `true` and `false` (with variations in case allowed I think).

Interestingly, as a Brit I've never in my life heard of "Brown Windsor soup". Admittedly I've never watched the Goon Show but it's hardly "deep...into the British psyche". Perhaps it's a generational
