gilly my maternal family come from Howarth.

All weavers. The graveyard is heaving with them. Nasty brutish short life.

Love the joke lemon I’ve just copied and pasted it to some dear friends, Yorkshire born and bred.

They live in a little town called ‘Idle’ and believe it or not there’s an ‘Idle Working Men’s Club’‼️

It's on eBay, lemon

Swiss National Day. Looking forward to seeing their fireworks from the other side of the Lake from our balcony

Singer Chris Rea and my DH

Don’t mess with a with a woman from Yorkshire !! ?

Combine Yorkshire Day and Swiss National Day by going to Bettys! I live deep in enemy territory (Manchester) but I've just remembered I have two Fat Rascals in the freezer. Happy day to you all. X

Sadly, I don't think "Emmerdale" advertises Yorkshire at it's best......

Haworth is very commercialised now ( but where isn’t.)
As a child I remember a teashop but little else for tourists other than The Black Bull pub.

Thanks merlot ?

I know Idle Urmston I used to live very near there.

I haven’t watched Emmerdale since it was called Emmerdale Farm ( by heck that’s going back a bit.)

I was just about to say "NO.... J52 Chris Rea does not come from Yorkshire" Then the penny dropped. Middlesbrough is Yorkshire

We might be distantly related through marriage Whitewave

DH has lived here in Geordieland for a very long time but there are still small hints of Yorkshire twang every now and again. I could barely understand his father though.

I loved your post Yorksherlass,it made me laugh and laugh so much so that I sent it to my sister who is just about to move to Yorkshire - maybe I should have sent it to her husband !

tiredoldwoman glad it gave you a giggle x

I have just come back from a fortnight's holiday 'at home' in sunny Doncaster to my exile in Wiltshire - I cannot really afford to live here now and am contemplating being mortgage free and coming 'home' ... I left when I was 18 and have lived all over the UK, bt as they say, "there's no place like 'ome"! My accent has got stronger over the 2 weeks, but up there, apparently I sound 'posh', ha, ha!

Lemon grove, go on Amazon, type in ‘Twerp’ on a coffee mug’, loads come up all styles colours etc

Happy Yorkshire Day!

My Mum was born in Northallerton and my Dad in East Witton. I'm the youngest of five and all my siblings were born in North Yorkshire but my family moved South before I was born. I'll never forgive them for making me a Southerner!!

Mmm...curd tarts and proper fish and chips

I loved your joke Yorksherlass

Brilliant!!

Born and brought up in Yorkshire. Now stuck in the Midlands ,but my heart will always be in that wonderful county. Immediately feel ‘right’ on the much too infrequent times I manage to get back there.
Horrified to see the extent of flooding in Leyburn and Reeth and North Yorkshire in general. Not such a good ‘Yorkshire Day ‘ for residents there.

I too am a Yorkshire girl born and bred.

My dad taught Geoff Boycott and bowled him out too!

I love Robin Hoods Bay and the Yorkshire Dales, especially Swaledale, Yorkshire pudding and curd tart.

My gran used to have supper at 10pm at night with teacakes and cheese - not really the thing to go to bed on but the menfolk were often on nights.

I am so proud I can play cricket for Yorkshire!!!

urmstongran thanks , we all need a laugh ?

Cyclist's Meet at Richmond on Spring Bank Holiday; field trips to Richmond, Swaledale and all its beauty, ice creams at Reeth.......

One of my grans was a proud Yorkshirewoman, and I have been holidaying in Calderdale for 30 years.
