As us Yorkies know, we are never wrong. Mind you, as a Mirfielder, I must say that you do live the wrong side of the M62!
As Bill Bryson said, about his time living in Malhamdale, if you ever wish to know your shortcomings, there's not a more helpful people around than Yorkshire folk! Damned with faint praise methinks!
I married a Yorkshireman (from Leeds) and I find his totally ****** regard of Yorkshire as being superior to everyone else teeth grindingly awful not to mention downright condescending.
If I hear one more time that Yorkshire is the biggest county (yeah but it has a dog the size of a rat named after it) or it should have it's own parliament I will stamp my feet and wipe my backside on a white rose.
So there!

I amYorkshire, born and bred. There is grand scenery and the people are straight forward. You know where you stand with them. For you 'foreigners' take a look at www.yorksview.co.uk and you will see just some of the great places Click on to 'Trivia' and take a look at the 'posser man' and 'Yorkshire Pudding' amongst other things.
But I will tell of one of my experiences to show that we can take a joke too: I was in the lift of the Dom hotel in Cologne some years ago. Hearing English, of a sort, I saw there were two Americans. I spoke to them and one asked where I came from. "The best place in the World," I answered."Where's that Bud?", he asked. "Yorkshire" I said. Just then the lift doors opened and they got out. As they did so, he turned and asked: "Where else have you been Bud?" Now anyone other than a Yorkshireman would have been completely deflated at that point !

caz21, as you are a Holmfirth resident, have you read the Hazel Wheeler book "First of the Summer Wine," which is about the famous Bamforth Postcards, and about Marion Leake and Hannah Hinchcliffe (a Holmfirth weaver) who were both among the first models for the Postcards? Do you collect old postcards?
Hazel Wheeler's other books are about Huddersfield (in old photographs) and Huddersfield during the war,etc.and all are interesting. Just wondered if you had read any of them.
Best wishes.
