I love living being a yorkshireman and being born and bred here.
I resent being called tightfisted as we're a very generous and friendly tribe of people up here, we just happen to know the value of a pound.
Maybe if a few of them red-brace wearing soft southern 'city' nancy boys had known the value of a pound our economy might not be being led up the pooper by them chinless trust-funded oxbridge educated idiots running the government
pies, whippets, flat caps, moorland, pint of landlord, etc. etc.
I partly agree with Mr Smith, despite being a born and bred yorkshire person, the only point to pick up on is the beer, I'd have nothing to call on the quality and range of beer north vs south from recent experience...
And I am typing this from within a few '00 meters of the centre of the yorkshire universe Ilkla Moor and I am slightly embaraced to say that I think there is a brass band playing the song in the high street. 😉

T'uther week when there was the documentary on Huddersfield I was welling up, weird. I just felt soo proud. Odd that, when you are in Hudds, you just feel normal/friendly folk etc (if you avoid the estates) and centre then when you are away you feel homesick.
Too too true, should never have left

ey up!
I've lowered the Japanese flag I was flying this morning in celebration of the tasty kebab I had at 1am this morning and hoisted my North Riding flag. Beef and Yorkshires for tea!

The number of those stereotypes that exist are probably equal in number to those flat-cap wearing whippet owning pigeon fancying dyed in the wool Yorkshiremen, and just as insular.
At least the tykes are generally harmless being all thumbs in braces talk and no action, unfortunately we all pay the price for allowing the chinless wonders to run the country.
I once knew a Yorkshireman who dropped 50p. It hit him on the back of the head.
Mind you, they reckon that a Yorkshireman's just a Scotsman with all the generosity removed...
What hora/chrisa87 said. The sportsman is a cracking pub, as is the rat and ratchet...
Always feel proud when I see the train station too. A truly majestic building.

Possibly true in my case..
Theres a common theme that I go to the pub with just a fiver, never do rounds (can't afford!) or give money to a charity.
I do however give alot of my time to people, will always offer if someone wants/needs help, will always intervene if someone is in trouble and I regularly give blood etc.
Try getting a pound out of me thought is like wringing blood out of a stone.

Does the rat and ratchet still do the pub quizzes where it shows who has the phd in obscure medieval history(or insert any other very obscure subject)?
rat and ratchet? Wow that looks a tidy place. Never been there. I'll have to pop in. Is there any decent India takeaways around there?
Looking at the Joe Cornish calendar on my office wall - Cleveland Hills from Kildale Moor, and hearing about nice pubs and good beer is making me wish I was back in the old country today.
For those fortunate to be in God's Own County - have a decidedly nice Yorkshire Day.

Well briefly we got rid to North Lincolnshire it came back. On T'plus side it does run a good ferry service to the continent
Not sure about the quality of the takeaway food out that way, but your only a short stumble from the town centre, and the chilli lounge (always great) or Balooshi (when its good its ace, when it's not its average)
Not sure on the quizzes, been a while since Ive been.

Bloody spell checker is anti Yorkshire - what's wrong with something (s.u.m.m.a.t) 🙁
Kingston upon Hull (yes really) isn't that bad and as mentioned the ferry is pretty good..... Beverley is where it's at though, great place! 🙂
Definitely think we get good beer here too.
Happy Yorkshire Day!
Yorkshire man with piles goes in the local shop, " got any arse cream?". Shop owner replies " magnum or Cornetto, love?".
