It's Yorkshire Day! Hurrah!

<ahem>

Does any other county have a day, and if so, do they shout about it so vigorously?

Some Monty Python for you (no, not the Four Yorkshiremen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YPSzPGrazPo

In reply to Tall Clare:

I've just celebrated Yorkshire Day down here in London. I just went outside into the sunshine and boiled my head...

In reply to Tall Clare: There's a house on the edge of Menston that flies a hyuuuge White Rose flag year round ; )

In reply to Tall Clare:
This is a good one too.

In reply to Tall Clare:

It may well be Yorkshire Day, but the test is at Lancashire.

In reply to Tall Clare: I'm celebrating by going climbing in Lancashire.

In reply to Tall Clare: That's a great sketch not seen it before!

In reply to Tall Clare:
I am celebrating with a cup of Yorkshire tea and a good read through the latest Wisden. Later I shall don my flat cap and walk the whippet down to the shops. I'll tie the dog up outside Tesco and walk up and down the aisles pointing at items shouting 'ow much!!!!'

Most importantly though, I'll not be spending any bloody money.

In reply to Tall Clare:
I'm not sure which is worse - Lesley Garret's screeching or Brian Blessed's rapping

P.S. Isn't "Mary Jane" usually a reference to Marijuana ? Brings a whole new meaning to the song !

In reply to Tall Clare:

No need, us Lancastrians are innately superior so once the tykes have had their day we get on with the rest of the year to ourselves

In reply to a lakeland climber:
Us Yorkshire folk have six toes on each foot. How on earth can you say that you are superior?

In reply to Tall Clare: They had a little feature about it on the Today Programme this morning, I thought the first story was very funny.

Not that I'm a fan, but this one was funny

Police have just released details of a new drug craze that is being carried out in Yorkshire nightclubs. Apparently, Yorkshire club goers have started injecting Ecstasy just above their front teeth.

Police say the dangerous practice is called "e by gum"
