It's Yorkshire Day once again.

Happy "our" day to all researchers from the real, the one and only, the original: God's Own Country!!

Please excuse the ignorance of a Southener, but could you possibly explain 'Yorkshire Day'?

It's the one day in the year that the rest of the world knows that it is inferior to Yorkshire. On the other 364 days it still is, but we just don't rub it in

Do you go around performing Monty Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch?

"Luxury."

I used to live in Yorkshire. I learned all my cricket there. I'm going back next weekend and I will buy some Yorkshire Relish when I am there.

Happy Yorkshire Day.

Ah.. Yorkshire Relish - Henderson's I hope. They send me a gallon every year. I can't live without it.

Today or Yesterday?

Hope it's not yesterday as I forgot to celebrate!

Yesterday, but you can redeem yourself if the cricket gets played today, and doesn't descend into the cricketing equivalent of a penalty shoot out.

Although, really, every day is Yorkshire day!

Let's breed whippets and say ''eh up!''

Make it ferrets and I'll join in.

*looks for bicycle clips*

Does Lancashire have a day?

Of course not.

Only those from the right side of the Pennines get a day.

Lancashire day - - that's a good 'un

But ****pedant alert**** if you are facing South, Lancashire IS on the right side of the Pennines

the correct side of the Pennines

Happy now?

Gah!

*runs off to campaign for a white-rose-smiley*

Not everything on the other side of the penines is Lancashire (hard as the old biddies try in Southport). We spit on the woolybacks. Yorkshire is far enough away to be neutral - at least it isnt manc-chester or down south

PQ (now living down south)

Gah!

*runs off to assist Sho in quest for Yorkshire smiley*

I live in Herts! I'm just stirring the sh*te!
