Yorkshire born,
Yorkshire bred,
Strong in t’arm
Thick in t’head.
at least we can use t’apostrophe properly 😉
Aye but I can use t’edit!
‘old on – ‘ave we all got t’edit function now then?
Seems fair to me – that gives Lancashire the other 365 days (leap year, for the benefit of any Yorkshire folk) to celebrate.
Best thing that ever came out of Lancashire was the road to Yorkshire.
It certainly allowed those who wished to go from the Red Rose to the White to do so, thus increasing the IQ of both.
I think you mean decreasing…
Let’s not argue – after all, you Lankys might be a funny lot, but at least you’re not Southerners…
Ah. Actually, I only lived in Lancashire from 1985 to 1997. I’m Scots by birth, and since 1998 I have lived in [gulp] Essex.
And Eccles cakes. Don’t forget Eccles cakes. Don’t look at the nutritional content though. You’d be just as well injecting lard straight into your veins. But I don’t know why it took me until well into my 30s to realise how good they are.
Actually, I bought a pack of 4 the other day. The Real Lancashire Eccles Cakes that are the best. So it might be Yorkshire day and I might be a Yorkshireman having moved back to God’s Own Country several years ago, but I’m ruddy well going to the kitchen to get an Eccles cake!
What has Yorkshire ever given the world? Apart from Yorkshire Pudding. And Geoffrey Boycott. Well there is Airebeat.
The Squares were probably the only Yorkshire band signed to the Sire Records label.
Can I remind you that Charlie Whitney was born in Skipton?
Is Yorkshire England’s Florida? Discuss. *Dodges bottle of Henderson’s Relish thrown at head*
No Zika virus here, mate.
Henderson’s is strictly Sheffield, tha knows. Doesn’t get this far north.
It’s a strange thing, it’s usually almost impossible to get Hendersons Relish outside a 20 mile radius of Sheffield, yet over this side of Australia it’s available in many supermarkets. At a price.

‘appen.
Happy Yorkshire day!
Sophistication? SophistiCATION?? Don’t talk to me about sophistication, love…
“Don’t talk to me about sophistication love, I’ve BEEN to Leeds!”
That famous African despot Robert Mugabe hails from Yorkshire. His surname is Ebagum backwards.
Champion!
When I were a lad we only ‘ad Yorkshire day once every 10 years.
Looxereh!
Gradely.
Been watching that Yorkshire film T’ermin’ater about a Yorkshire man’s hatred for the House of Lords.
Justification for Yorkshire’s existence from one single photograph (taken by my own fair hand, so no copyright issues).
Whitby? Great photograph
Why, thank you. And yes.
AS i am 50% Yorkshire I will celebrate for half the day. Always a favourite place to visit, especially the Dales, stunning.
Yorkshire Dales? WARNING: now contains part of Lancashire.

Still bristling over Bosworth lads ? Get over it, come on dudes, move on. As a gesture of reconciliation, have some Lancashire Black Pudding. It’s nicer than yours.
(ps: The Beatles were from Lancashire. Merseyside didn’t exist until 1974. So that nails it ).

Tha’s a reet pot stirrer tha knows.
Ey up chucks! Have a chippy tea.
Let’s call a truce – a Manc singing with a Yorkshire brass band with a video of a Lancashire canal:
