Yorkshire: better than we thought

My Uncle Trevor lived in Yorkshire all of his life.
A large proportion of that life was spent in a small portion of Yorkshire: his shed.
He made stuff in his shed and when he died, he was buried with his beloved lathe.
So he could turn in his grave.

It's missing two words....

After Yorkshire.

Nobody is perfect but, after being from Yorkshire, Lancashire is pretty close

Belgium's fantastic! A bonkers political system, wonderful mediaeval towns, a great coastline including the world's longest tramway, waffles and beer that's almost as good as southern England's. It's also mostly pancake flat.

My favourite meal out was of ribbetjes and fritjes in a Belgian town square. A whole rack of ribs and a monstrous bowl of chips with mayonnaise for not much more than a fiver.

Wow(!) Loads of wet and windy moors,sheep,tea rooms and tourist shops,and that's the good bits!

For Yorkshire to be better than I think it is would be quite easy. Kick all the Yorkshire people out and the place would be almost as nice as Lancashire.

So, exactly how much did Lancashire improve once you left?

And I've always wondered: did you leave of your own free will or were you deported?

We've our own National Anthem, translated & sung in over 100 languages. English included.
The ONLY county mentioned in the bible.

Is that the East Riding joke

Or more like this:

Because it is next to Yorkshire of course!

Lancs is nice but I always have a bad impression of it because the bit that adjoins Yorkshire, Oldham up to Colne, that is the most depressing and dismal area in the world. I get worried cycling towards Skipton, the left side of my face goes all cold.

Deported obviously although with leave to return every once in a while
