For you geographically challenged southerners, Yorkshire is not in North east England. The North East is

// ...one of the nine regions of England that are classified at the first level of NUTS for statistical purposes. It covers Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, and Teesside, which is partly in North Yorkshire. The largest urban area in the region is Tyneside. The only cities in the North East are Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland. Other large settlements in the region include Darlington; Gateshead; Hartlepool; Middlesbrough; Redcar; South Shields and Stockton-on-Tees. The region is home to three large conurbations: Teesside, Wearside, and Tyneside, which is the largest of the three and the sixth most populous conurbation in the United Kingdom. //
