Derwent 2,344 Report post Posted August 2 5 hours ago, Wholly Trinity said: Indeed. 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. As the old saying goes, you can tell a Yorkshireman......but you can’t tell him much... 3 1 Quote I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every single county, region, province, state, country or culture will have a dark side. What wrong with celebrating the good stuff?? Children suffered grave abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church in Ireland. By your logic St. Pats day is a no no then? Dear me.

Adelaide Tiger 1,444 Report post Posted August 5 At Junior School in Cas around 1975 the Teacher told us we were going on a school trip to Malham Cove.  To show us where Malham was he drew an outline of the east coast on the blackboard and then an outline of the west coast. He then shaded in the middle area and told us this area is called the Pennines.  He then marked where Malham was. As an afterthought he said ‘If this area is Yorkshire, what is the area to the left of the Pennines called?’.  No one answered.  The Teacher added ‘They are our biggest rivals at cricket’.  My mate whispered to me ‘I know the answer’.  So he put his hand up.  The Teacher said ‘Go on then’.  My mate then shouted out ‘The West Indies’. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
