Yorkshire welcomes Le Tour...

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Come on chaps, let's not turn it into a Scotland v England thing. It's just a lighthearted thread about people supporting Le Tour...

Fine by me. Seems my post touched a nerve. Flouncy Yorkshiremen, eh?

I think the Waitrose sign was pilfered from Cambridge....

They should open the dungeons of Stephenson Hall,there used to be some interesting wine incarcerated there.Enjoy yourself at t"TdF-looking forward to seeing a place I enjoyed + a bike race-jump up and down and wave something and I ll try and spot you

Hmmm, Hendos...

Castle market is now deceased though. A brand new market hall has opened halfway down The Moor.

I think the plan is to open up the dungeons/ruins of Sheffield Castle to public view eventually.

Looking forward to the Tour kicking off!

Aah indeed! A blast from my University past, Castle Market for me too,and Hendersons Relish,happy days!The last bottle I had[for my own exclusive use] was about 4 years ago,an d I havent seen it on sale anywhere since,I think that bottle came from Morrisons.So,other than the manufacturers,can I buy it at any national chain do you know ?And Cumbrians{I know youre there,I can hear you breathing],If you find any let me know,and buy some yourself and keep a quality British brand on the go!

"The Waggon and Horses pub in Langsett – where stage two will race through en route to Sheffield – has changed its name to the Pedalers Inn and produced EPO ale."

Even the French seem impressed:
Jens Voigt souffre dans cette deuxième montée du jour où le public est venu très nombreux sur toute l'ascension. On se croirait dans les Alpes ou les Pyrénées avec une ferveur populaire incroyable !

Yellow sheep probably belong to this man, Gary Verity.
