cgksheff Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think all counties have a day, ... I think that you will struggle to find one outside Lancashire & Yorkshire. I would be happy to hear different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraSteve Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5234444.stm What's so special about Yorkshire? Tuesday is Yorkshire Day, when men and women from across this historic county gather to celebrate their... well, Yorkshireness - leaving outsiders baffled about why they have such a high opinion of themselves. Brass bands, flat caps, whippet racing, wrinkled stockings, beef dripping with bread, pie and peas. The above are just a few of the umpteen cliches associated with "God's own county"....

SupraSteve Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 There are some class quotes by members of the public tagged onto that story... -- I believe the Lancastrians would say there are only two good things to come out of Yorkshire; Yorkshire Pudding and an empty bus. Mind you, the Yorkshiremen say that only two good things come out of Lancashire; Black Pudding and an empty bus. Who is running the bus company, and which County Council is subsidising it? Ray Lashley, Bristol, UK (Son of a Yorkshireman) People's insecurities make them excessively proud of such trivial things like where they come from. The bigger the paranoia, the louder the self-congratulating shouting. If Yorkshire genuinely was 'God's chosen county' then this fact would be clear to everyone and nobody would need to go banging on about it all the time. I suspect this is why you never hear a peep out of the people of Kent. David Rothwell, Kent ^^^ The Irony!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
