silverback 1,013 Report post Posted Saturday at 21:58 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Sunday at 07:51 by Robin Evans 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
