Griff9of13 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ah yes, the one day of the year that you see the words "happy" and "Yorkshire" in the same sentence. 3 4 "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

silverback Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 thats really bad and not just in yorkshire it seems. whats it about? It’s interesting to note that this particular ‘cocktail’ isn’t restricted to use in Nidderdale; it has also been used on several estates elsewhere in England and Scotland. Wouldn’t it be fascinating to see whether there was a common link between these various estates, you know, something like a shared agent or perhaps a gamekeeper who’s worked on all the estates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot believ anyone else would honestly have a contrary view. There are LOTS of other counties I also love very much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why it's seen as the epitome of rudeness to ask anyone if they're from Yorkshire. If they're not from Yorkshire, you'll just embarras them into having to admit it in public, and if they are, they'll tell you soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wish to find a negative in something, as you appear to be driven, then you will find one. Everywhere will have a dark side if you want to find one. However, on yorkshire day I was happy to celebrate my heritage and the nice things about the county, just as I'm happy to share other peoples heritage and cultures. Its eid this week. Its been fun sharing that too. Happy and proud to be a Yorkshireman.... Other places are lovely too Edited August 2, 2020 by Robin Evans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
