It's official! Lancashire is better than Yorkshire.

[Piemaster]

Football-wise Yorkshire don't get a look in. Even if you're not going to allow Liverpool and Manchester, then we have more Premier league teams than Yorkshires, erm, none.

PM me your address an I'll send you an East Riding map.
Last match: HULL CITY 2 - 1 Wigan

Where is Wigan btw? Which county?

Yorkshire is rather nice, but spoilt somewhat by virtue of being full of Yorkshiremen. You can never tell a Yorkshireman - they know it all already.

 

[Corvette chic]

I'm with you Paul and as for Beer well we do have Moorhouses (pendle witch, black cat, blonde witch etc)

Wrong!!!!!!

You forget Yorkshire is so big (& great) it has four Ridings; North, South, West & East, which the latter has the Premiership team of 'Hull City' so your research is weak and inaccurate

The 'admin' of this district is from Yorkshire, plus the top poster and 'queen of cake' is a resident, and we have the best tea!

Well that just shows that Yorkists are as daft as a brush when it comes to sums because Riding is derived from the old word for third. So the numb buggers have managed to come up wi' four of 'em!

Andy you're right, there aren't 4 Ridings, heaven forfend... only ever 3: North Riding, East Riding and West Riding.

"South Yorkshire" exists only as an aberration, thanks to meddling administrators, as do Merseyside or Tyne and Wear.

I wouldn't know about anything pertaining to Lancashire as I never had cause to cross the Pennines. I've heard Manchester is a bit wet.

Well they wouldn't have wanted Donny in Derbyshire would they?

Mort, True...but it's useful to keep the edge from unravelling.

[Does this Derby pride mean you hail from Derbyshire 'Vlaanderen' not the Dutch version?]

 

[Yorkshireman]

Licorice, Pomfret (Pontefract) Cakes, Rhubarb (grown in the Rhubarb Triangle - best in the world), Yorkshire Pudding, Tripe and many types of Black Pudding (though 'the other lot' have been known to make a 'pale imitation')

As a (not totally) neutral southerner I just have to agree with the OP.

That said I like visiting both.

You post as if it's a bad thing......

Which would imply you 'know it all' already?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Beer?

Any one for Theakstons, John Smiths, Samuel Smiths, Cropton, Timothy Taylor......I could go on?

Scenic-wise Lancashire shades it. Yes, we all admire those Yorkshire Dales and they're all very pretty and that but we have The Bowland Fells, The Tatham fells, The Trough of Bowland, The Ribble Valley and they are all much more tranquil than having to dodge screaming motorbikes and convoys of cars to get to. In addition we also have Pendle and if we stick to original county boundaries (and why not? Lancashire still play county cricket in Liverpool and Manchester) then we also have Rivington, Saddleworth and lest we forget, Furness was in Lancashire so we get Coniston too!

Never heard of any of them????
