[Closed] Gods County

"Listen to me, lad. I might be omnipresent but to live anywhere other than Yorkshire's just daft. Bring t'whippets in, it's a bit cold out there for 'em"

Oh dear:

The northerns think Last of the Summer wine was a comic parody, where in reality it was a fly on the wall documentary that southerns couldn't help pointing and laughing at.

[i]North Yorkshire is "Gods Own County"[/i]

I knew that cos I live in Boroughbridge.

Thats true, mind you did tell me that you only watched it for the W**kfest that was Norah Batty

Yorkshire; just a flatter,less healthy Scotland isn't it?

You keep believing that, it'll keep you happy twixt t'pit and t'whippets.

God would never reside amidst Barnsley, Catleford, Hull & Scarboough.

Pit shut darn nah thar nose, whippets died 🙁
Mind still got flat cap and blac pudding to keep me company,

Why would you want to live anywhere else ?

Let me see, because elsewhere you can find;

Better weather, hills, riding, beer, coast, standards of living, food, any many many other things.

But mainly, because you won't be surrounded by folk on an ego trip about where they live.

It's ok Yorkshire, but in all honesty. It's nowt amazing.

True Pieman, dont have any of them you mentioned, may have to move after all.

I don't have a flat cap. Does a cat flap count?

But mainly, because you won't be surrounded by folk on an ego trip about where they live.

[i]Better weather, hills, riding, beer, coast, standards of living, food, any many many other things.[/i]

Your'e only right about the weather (& that's only sometimes)

& Harrogate is the happiest place in the country to live.

Ant & Dec just said so therefore it must be true.

Does anyone know where the closing shot is from???

I'd heard it was Carlisle, probably a few years ago now.

That said, I'd heard Powys was the happiest in the UK as a whole.

Given the choice, I'd live in Rural Wales if anywhere south of Hadrians wall. On paper the North West of England (not that hideous Manchester conurbation bit) appeals far more than East of the Pennines. But I quite like rain.

That said again, really given a choice I'd be in the Pyrenees.

Who knows what's so special about some low hills covered in tussocks and sheep shit. But you boys seem to love it.

Essel you're wrong I've just read about the Halifax 2013 Quality of life survey, in the Times.
Just 3 places from the North figure in top 50 harrogate is'nt one of Em.
They do ad a caveat
"If we had measured ares of outstanding natural beauty, clean air and access to green space the result would have been different"
Tell you what Scotland and Wales dont even get a shout, sh1tholes I guess 😉

Terrible places, in fact. Everyone from Yorkshire would do well to stay within its borders for fear of missing out on Yorkshireness

Usually some stud muffin's ball bag.

Boom tish

2012 Olympics - what were the stats again... Oh that were it if Yorkshire was a nation, we'd have come 3rd. Beat that yer ****s 😯

3rd? Second Loser.

[i]Essel you're wrong[/i]

Nope, can't be. Ant & Dec said so & if they said so it must be true, cos they're from God's other county.

Or maybe Carlisle after all

No Piemonster. I do and it's not great for riding, to put it midly. Otherwise fine admitedly, but it's riding that counts.

So, Scotland it is then..... 😀

Yup. Lived in St. A and loved it. Will be back one day!

Faulty link edit, crikey loads of places blagging to be "gods own"
Ahem

Not bad for a load of black pudding eating, whippet-loving, wife-beating, fish n chip-eating miners eh Kryton 😉

now lets get to it.. im from yorkshire born ( literally on ilkley moor) and bred and its THE best place on Earth..

the first day of the tour will be a fantastic ride and blooming brilliant visually.. but the second day.. were they on drugs?

i would nt take an armoured car through keighley let alone ride a 5k push bike even if i have 180 of me mates with me.. the route through hebden bridge is fast and very narrow.. it even loops into Lancashire for about 3 miles.. the second half into the bankrupt south yorkshire is visually awful..
why not start at york loop up the north york moors take in scarborough and brid and take the fast straight roads to 'Ull and beyond..

What's up wi Keighley totalshell? 😉

2012 Olympics - what were the stats again... Oh that were it if Yorkshire was a nation, we'd have come 3rd. Beat that yer ****

IIRC, that was based on very flawed data - it included Wiggo and any athlete that had even visited Yorkshire for more than 48 hours. 😉

you are having a laugh
gods country north of the M4 ? what drugs are you northern monkeys on 🙂

Yes its Roseberry Topping Guisbourough

totalshell - the bit in south yorkshire is actually very, very pretty.

Ok, I'm open minded. And I'm sure I must have missed some stuff about Yorkshire in the 3-4 years I lived there.

How about some photos of the bestest riding bits? Might actually inspire me to go back south of Kendal.

You can leave out anything near Hebden Bridge, it's rubbish.

The way I see it is if I'm going to drive all that way (North) why stop somewhere where they have some nice looking hills and talk a little funny? Might as well keep your foot down for another hour or two and go somewhere really pretty, with proper big hills and where they really mangle the English language... 😉

Edit: before any Scots take offence I'm half scot myself and love both people and place...

I'm offended on their behalf
