1st August - Yorkshire Day

So many lovely memories here and lemongrove if the church you refer to is the one on Wilmer Road, Heaton, that was my husband's church (though not for long, he did not like the priest).

The Walls of Jerico used to scare me to death. I understand they've been altered for road widening. Horrible place.

Loved the Yorkshire jokes.

Betty's and curd tarts. Bilberries, bracken and heather on Ilkley Moor. Fountains Abbey. The Dales and the jokes in 'The Dalesman'. Free Yorkshire puddings with gravy during Sunday lunchtimes at our local pub in return for contributions to the (also local) charity of the week.
And I only ever buy Yorkshire tea.

With you 100% BladeAnnie and adding Artic Monkeys and Joe Cocker. The wonderful old city of York, Ripon Cathedral and the amazingly rugged and scenic North Yorkshire coast. And, of course, an oversized 'Brown Betty' teapot full of strong hot Yorkshire tea.

Fish, chips n scraps.

Cheese on toast ( it has to be Wensleydale) with bits of chopped spring inion on it.
Potted meat....the butcher had a big bowl of it.

The Father Brown books ( G K Chesterton ) were based on a Catholic priest at St Cuthberts church in Bradford.

Anyone remember being told to ‘side the table’ ? ?

Janiepops thanks for the info....I looked on Amazon, there are lots of great Yorkshire mugs.?

Thank you for that link Yorksherlass . DH said “ that were raaayt gud, that were”’

Did you know that according to Stanley Holloway the angels invented Yorkshire Pudden?

Doncaster Races with its St Ledger.
Doncaster Butterscotch.

God's own county. I'm Yorkshire through and through. And proud of it.

Tin tin tin (in other words. "it isn't in the tin"!!

I put a link on the bottom of page 2 but don’t know if it’s working , if not google Yorkshire Airlines, really funny ?

I live on the edge of the flood damaged area. Please don’t believe the Dales have been destroyed and don’t be put off visiting here. Life is getting back to normal. On another note, Kiki Dee - at school we were so proud of a Bradford Lass hitting the charts and she still makes regular appearances at Reeth in Swaledale.

Definitely Sean Bean but not in the tea ad.

Love curd tarts and Yorkshire pudding. We often have the leftovers from a roast dinner served up inside a Yorkshire pud the next day. Needs lots of gravy too.

Great jokeyorksherlass and the Barry Cryer quote is so true Disgruntled.

A Happy Yorkshire Day,and commiseration to all affected by flooding yesterday.
Yorkshire has wonderful countryside, lovely people good strong Yorkshire tea, and not forgetting the Pudding!

Sean Bean and Sheffield United!

Commiserations to all in exile.
Barry Cryer says "Never ask a man if he's from Yorkshire. If he is, he'll already have told. If he's not - why humiliate him?

I wasn’t born in Yorkshire but moved here when I was seven from the South. I soon developed a Yorkshire accent because they said I was “posh”
I stayed until I was twenty three and then moved South because of my husband’s job.
Finally ,twenty years ago we came back to N. Yorks. (again for work) and I felt like I’d come home.
Love the country side and the Cities but mostly, the people!

Another born and bred Yorkshire lass here happy Yorkshire day to all. Having Yorkshire puds for tea. Loved the post Yorkshire lass ?

Wonderful! Never heard of it before. Love both the concept and the reality. Where have I been all my life?!!

Yorkshire Speak....
I went to a cricket match at Headingley and wanted to buy a cup of tea.
I was asked if I wanted taveneer and I said that I just wanted ordinary tea.
Eventually after being asked several times if I wanted that particular type of tea I realised that she meant
Would you like to drink it in here!

This exiled Yorkshire rose wishes you all a happy Yorkshire Day. There are two kinds of people in the world...those from Yorkshire and those who wish they were! ?
