It's grim up north and they're all alergic to the letter 'k'.

For some reason most fellow English people I befriend online seem to come from there. It also makes my favourite brand of tea, with the incredibly original name of Yorkshire Tea. Not forgetting Yorkshire puddings.

I can recognise a Yorkshire accent, but beyond that and the knowledge that it is a fairly rural area, I know little about it overall.

I've been there a few times, a friend of mine from uni is from Leeds as is my sister's godfather, and my dad went to uni at York so we've spent a bit of time there. Lovely place from what I've seen of it, and everyone there seems to make excellent tea.

Emmerdale and Yorkshire Puddings... That is all. Oh and the show Red Riding.

Thats literally it for me

 

[cwmdulais]

i know that like most places in northern england, its pretty shit

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Yorkshire Pudding.


That's all you really need to know about Yorkshire, since the rest of it's a dive and not worth visiting.

God's own county. That's coming from someone born and raised in Lincolnshire right there...

 

[Ekit]

Nothing. But I guess it's in England somewhere. And it has terriers.

Been there a couple of times on holiday. Rain, beautiful empty moors, Yorkshire pudding, rain, sheep, York itself (nice city), vikings, rain, rural and dreary villages and more rain.

That it's pointlessly big for a UK county... and has a lot of our larger cities in...

Also, that Yorkshire got more gold medals in the Olympics than Germany!

And that I have to spend the next 2 weeks of my life living in one of your feilds against my will...

And well... Fuck!

I am also a proud Wiltshireman, not to dissimilar to your county apart from we speak better (SW accents are manly!) and we put the proper condiments on our chips... none of this gravy wank!

 

[Esotera]

On Ilkley Moor baht 'at...

I lived in West Yorkshire for most of my childhood, it's got some really nice countryside & everything seems a lot more chilled out there. Not to mention that Jorvek in York (if it still exists) is an awesome Viking museum.

Funny accents, farmland, make a good puddin'

 

[SonofaJohannes]

That's those small dogs that look like ewoks, right?
No wait, it's that popover clone isn't it?
Ooh, I know! It's a Monty Python Sketch!

 

[sky14kemea]

Pfffffft. South Yorkshire is the only good part of Yorkshire.

Specifically Sheffield.

We make steel. 8D

(nah I jk, my city sucks, IMO.) All I know is that it's green as 'owt, and we have a hilarious farmer accent.

Is tha satisfied with that answer? ;D

 

[EeveeElectro]

Snip

Don't listen, come to Lancashire instead : P

Ewww gross. The only place in the world wide world that calls a sandwich a bloody "barm" like a twat. They can smell the Lancashire fear on you when you come to visit me ;3

 

[DionysusSnoopy]

Well a fair amount since I'm from Yorkshire (East Riding part formerly known as Humberside)great views, we got more Olympic medals than the majority of the world during 2012, we have the opening stages of the 2014 tour de France, the Jorvik centre for all our Viking needs. Beverley minster in my home town of Beverley is larger than a third of the cathedrals in the UK and served as inspiration for Westminster abbey. We are also the envy of Lancashire my mate wishes he was a Yorkshireman.

On the downside there's Hull but we shall ignore that

Those are some highlights I also remember a travelling fair don't know if it still runs.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Dales, moors, pies, tea, really love cricket and the bane of all Lancashire-men.

Well Yorkshire, lets see. There was the infamous Yorkshire civil wars in the 70s. Each riding went its own way under powerful warlords, the most most brutal being Thora Hird warlord of the north riding and Dikie Brid of the west riding. The horrible war started over the proper form of worship of St Geoffrey De Boycott and ended with a committee meeting of Yorkshire CCC and the exile of the arch heretic Ray of Illingworth to Nottingham. I believe Lord Brain of the close was nominated for a nobel peace prize for his part in the peace treaty. All is not well, rumor has it that the son of the arch heretic Richard of Illingworth has been sighted on the sacred turf of Headingley. Storm clouds gather and the west riding has a new warlord, the strangely named Sean of Bean.

LOL, post of the day. Though I don't think there are enough cricket fans to truly appreciate the full truth of it!

Some of the most awesome celebrities come from here (Patrick Stewart, Maclom Mcdowell, Ben Kingsley, Brian Blessed amongst others)

And how quickly did they all rid themselves of that beastly accent?! *supercilious sniff* =P

OT: *shrug* It's north of Watford...?!
