By-eck. Who else is celebrating Gods own county? 
BOOOOOOOOOOO! 😉
ee lad, tha's a lancy turncoat but tha's yorkshire born and bred.
Only Yorkshire could be so up it's own backside to celebrate itself. Sounds like insecurity to me, TBH.... 8)
[i]Taking off from Leeds Bradford Airport and landing 20mins later at Leeds Bradford Airport cos if its outside Yorkshire? its not worth visiting''[/i]
The best lovers, fighters, women and Poets.
More likely, they refused visas to travel further afield. You're welcome to the place 😉
Terrahawk will come round to my thinking soon. He'll request citizenship...

Quality.. makes me think of the Monty Python playwright scene... "BLOODY TUNGSTEN CARBIDE DRILLS! You're all bloody fancy talk since you left London."
😀

LOL
"You and yer fancy coal mining friends."
Also, from Harry Enfield
Sophistication! Sophistication!, don't talk to me about sophistication, I've been to Leeds!.

You know when you revisit places after ages and it changes from the last (southampton is one for me)....
Holmfirth will still be exactly the same in a thousand years 😆

Nah - they've cancelled Last of the Summer Wine - this means the place can be bulldozed and replaced with the glass and stainless steel edifices the locals really want 😉
edit - mrs mm is on about visiting one of the many 'attractions' that will be on over the weekend - i'd rather be off to try and catch up with Mark & gang on the JOGLE run as Sunday/ Monday is when they are closest to us...
Yorkshire. The county that gifted Hora to an unsuspecting world
Need we say more?
Last of the Summer Wine will still be running with the exact same story lines repeated as the audience is soo old to notice or remember what the last episode entailed anyway..
Last of the Summer Wine depresses me (seriously - I cannot bear to watch it it makes me so down). The Yorkshire I know is so far removed from that and I hope that my life never, ever becomes remotely like it.
(Yorkshire born and (in)bred).
Yorkshire bleats on about itself, the rest of the country carries on...
Torkshire proclaims
the rest of the country carries on...
err how often do we see 'visit XX' adverts on TV?
Dont blame the rest of us for hora! Everyday is Yorkshire day in our house, so you can take your soft southern carryings on and bugger off!
Best not mention I said that, the wife's from Cambridge and tends to get a bit 'emotional' at times. She's intellectual, fine looking and a pleasure to be around, but she's bloody rubbish at carrying coal.
Torkshire? Where's that then, cynic-al?
Will be silently marking the occasion, as I'll be on Anglesey, shhhh.... yah, Yorkshire!
remember this? WHY?!!!
Will be returning to the mother county on Sunday; 2 month old son in tow so he gets the full effect... 😉
im not sure where i live to b honest...yorkshire or lancashire (im middle earth really..smack bang int middle of both countys...

ah, but, the Local Shop for Local People is filmed here in Marsden which is (only just) in Yorkshire.. 😉
Is it?
Someone mentioned originally Todmorden was going to be used but a local character nicknamed 'Elvis' scared the researchers/location peeps off?
yep - i'm not a fan, and not about to try and find the picture, but there's a shot that shows the 'sop' with the view across to the other side of the valley, the view of which very clearly places it in Marsden.
The 'shop' is somewhere below the shooting range...
edit - I really should be working, but...
ere you go...

houses on the right are, I believe, the edge of The Plains estate...?

Eye, that's what I always understood to be true.
What everyone obviously needs is a Yorkshire Rose Buff.............

Deer Hill???????
I am a big fan of LeagueOG'.....and as a 13/14yr old I fired numerous calibre weapons up on Deer Hill including 303, shotgun and 9mm!
Eeeeee memories 😀
Is it true the Burger place did change it's name to "Burger Me"?

Oh I thought this was a charity event like Children In Need or something, to raise money for people suffering.
Yes, it's called 'tykes in need'. Send tripe, cow heels and whippet lingerie NOW! And dont expect a thankyou, neither, you soft southern bas****s.

local shop location is just to the right of the two riders, as it was just a prefab for the show, you can make out Marsden in the background, and the straight road from MM's picture on the right
in fact one of those two specks is MarsdenMan himself chasing up Bunnyhop.
in fact one of those two specks is MarsdenMan himself, [i]at the back of the pack, sweating like a fat lad at a disco, 'leading the way' on the 'short diversion route' at the start of the ride he organised[/i] .
the correct version 😉
Hora : they did film for weeks in Todmorden... i was out with my video camera daily ! here is episode 2 .... it took many weeks and many different shots....
the crash was spectacular ! the wall they made looked like a real wall... inside the garden they made it look very pretty and laced it with flowers ..they told the owner of the house he could keep the garden 'set' once filming had finished but he didnt want any of it.....
there was lots of free barb e que burgers for the locals(us) after they finished filming... we the locals enjoyed having the entire film crew around ! i manged to get all their autographs i just lived a few doors away.... i was very local..!
