Any other Yorkshire people on hear?

[stephec]

Ask a Texan about their heritage and they'll tell you they're a Texan first and an American second. Yorkshire folk have much the same outlook about their origins.

And to answer the OP I live just south of Bradford and north of Huddersfield.

Are you saying all Yorkshire folk are like Lance Armstrong?

Are you?

Funny, I don't see anywhere south of Halifax, or west of York as being Yorkshire, don't know why really, but I associate Sheffield with Derbyshire and Hull with the wannabee tykes in M'boro.

And here's me, living in the Dales and thinking I'm in Yorkshire. Oh well - better do a bit of a rethink then

When asked where I'm from, I tell people I'm from Yorkshire, where the M1 and the M62 cross.... despite leaving in 1977.

Sounds like Carr Gate or East Ardsley to me

Yes, weird that!

As is eliminating most of West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire ...

As for Leicester ... I have done some research and discovered that it is still in Leicestershire, because they wouldn't allow it into Rutland!

Is the M1 still cobbled up there?

No it's now an official government traffic cone storage area.

Until this thread I had never realised that Hull was in Yorkshire - it now makes sense.

Todmorden's town hall

The town hall in Todmorden straddles the River Calder and was situated in both Lancashire and Yorkshire until the county boundary was moved on January 1 1888. Designed by John Gibson of Westminster, this imposing building has a northern end which is semi-circular.
