Who's from Yorkshire?

Pudding · 23 Jan 2004, 10:26

It is well known that Yorkshire is the centre of the known Universe and is commonly called 'God's Own County', so I was just wondering who here is actually from Yorkshire?

Pud:o]

Who lives in New Zealand but is from Brighouse (nr Huddersfield) West Yorkshire.

Yes, Yorkshire is indeed the centre of the Universe.

Born in Leeds, took culture to Lancashire, now live in Huddersfield the cultural centre of the North!

What's it they say? English by birth, Lancashire lass by the grace of God

That's not to say i have anything against people from Yorkshire, they are ok - just as long as they know their place....

Mike Piercy · 23 Jan 2004, 20:00

My grandad was Welsh! He saw the light and moved to Yorkshire.

They do say the best thing to come out of Lancashire is the M62!

Before we all get heated up with the Lancashire/Yorkshire debate just remember

Nobody is perfect - but being from Yorkshire is as close as you are ever gonna get!!!!

Hafta confess i am a true Tyke,

Born in Halifax, lived all my life there and now work there in newsagents in Greetland, Brighouse and Huddersfield!!

I live fairly near the border with Lancashire (not quite in the badlands of Todmorden) but we are one of the first lines of defence against the Lancastrian Hordes who come rampaging over the border ever summer to rape our sheep, pillage our womena nd try and beat us by an innings and a half!!!

How amny people fancy a campaign to rewrite Meat's song Took the words?

I am thinking maybe

On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat
to the wolf with the WHITE roses?

Don't get me started. I was recently at a wedding in Fiji and the DJ then collared everyone who was from a certain country to sing a song from their homeland. Since I was the only Brit in the place since the missus went to bed early, I was stood centre stage like a right charlie belting out the aforementioned tune. It's something I wouldn't want to repeat in a hurry but I did get a rousing applause!!!

Have you noticed how quiet it is from our friends in Lancashire, mind you they are a little under-privileged.

Someone told me there's a sign outside Bolton Infirmary which says "Dogs operate in this hospital".

Staff shortages......?

Are any of you good Yorkshire folk off to Sheffield on 29 January?
