Yorkshire. The best place in Europe.

[Venod]

You only go to the nice bits.

Try Cleckhuddersfax, Wath-upon-Dearn, Skinningrove and Armley.

Which nice bit are you in BTW?

Ah Skinningrove a wonderfull village

 

[vernon]

Hawes

The usual then.

Get thissen a Taylors Pie from Elijah Allen's and use it as a bench mark for other pie tastings. It scores 7/10 on my pieometer. Just down the road in Bedale you could sample pies from Cockburns. I particularly recommend the pork and caramelised red onion pie.

Strange that all the other nominees were cities.
I think York would be the only Yorkshire city i would put forward for a tourism award. I can't see Leeds and Bradford taking on the likes of
Venice, Florence and Copenhagen.

My parents and grandparents were all from Yorkshire. My mum used to wax lyrical about the place until your ears bled. Being a literary type, she was particularly fixated on that Hannah Hawkswell and her spartan lifestyle on the moors - as if in some way having to put up with an outside khazi and no leccy supply was in some way a good thing. Both of my parents fondly remembered a Yorkshire friend of theirs whose car was slowly falling to bits over a period of decades, but who stuck it together by filling up the rusty gaps with a mixture of mud and cowpats. Apparently he referred to this as "claggin' it together wi' clarts". There seems to be a touch of the Monty Python "Three Yorkshiremen" to all of them if you ask me.Still, don't want to upset any of them - I have no defence to eckythump.

Must get my eyes checked. I was sure you said their cat was falling to bits so they stuck it together with cowpats.

To be fair, how many UK cities can compete with the likes of Venice, Florence and Copenhagen?

Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton need not apply.

 

[Markymark]

London.

London, London, London





















London.

Birmingham has more miles of canals than Venice .

 

[marknotgeorge]

Ah, but what about canals without shopping trollies in?

Took the girls to Manchester Museum of Science & Industry today, via Ashbourne, Leek and Macclesfield, coming back via the Cat & Fiddle and Buxton. When I've got countryside like the Peak District and the Staffordshire Moors on my doorstep, who needs those squabbling northerners?

 

[Smurfy]

We're working on getting out though!

Yorkshire Independence Party?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

YIPpers?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Is Yorkshire not full of knuckle-dragging BNP/UKIP types?
The kind of people who get confused between tourists and immigrants?
The kind of people who think "being foreign" means coming from someplace that's not Yorkshire, and that "foreign" is a bad thing?

 

[vernon]

Is Yorkshire not full of knuckle-dragging BNP/UKIP types?

Nope but it's full Tyke-ish bigots.

The kind of people who get confused between tourists and immigrants?

Nope, the kind of folk who protest against halal meat then go and gorge on it at a curry house without a second thought.

The kind of people who think "being foreign" means coming from someplace that's not Yorkshire, and that "foreign" is a bad thing?

Nope. The kind of folk who think 'being foreign' means someone who doesn't put mint sauce on their pie and peas and that the mint sauce abstainers are heretics.
