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!
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.
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 ).

Aye but I can use t’edit!

‘old on – ‘ave we all got t’edit function now then?
Gatz says
Seems fair to me – that gives Lancashire the other 365 days (leap year, for the benefit of any Yorkshire folk) to celebrate.
count jim moriarty says
Best thing that ever came out of Lancashire was the road to Yorkshire.
Gatz says
It certainly allowed those who wished to go from the Red Rose to the White to do so, thus increasing the IQ of both.
count jim moriarty says
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…
Gatz says
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.

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*
count jim moriarty says
No Zika virus here, mate.
Henderson’s is strictly Sheffield, tha knows. Doesn’t get this far north.

That famous African despot Robert Mugabe hails from Yorkshire. His surname is Ebagum backwards.

Why, thank you. And yes.
