It's apparently Yorkshire Day

Why do they think so much of themselves? I live in Bournemouth and it's full of Yorkies telling me how we all soft southerners and Yorkshire is best, but they're in Bournemouth when they're telling me! so if it's so bloody wonderful why did they leave? eh oop rant over!

Reasons to think highly of Yorkshire.
Scenery
Yorkshire Pudding yumyumyum

Reasons to think lowly of Yorkshire
Geoffrey Boycott
Cocky arrogance that a lot of them seemingly exhibit.

I can understand your views on Yorkies. I have the same views about southerners when they go on about us being poor, uncouth etc and go on about how good the south is.
It must be a reaction by people who move away from their turf to remember it as some kind of paradise.
As for Yorkshire Day this is the first i've heard of it and i suspect the same goes for 90% of Yorkies, probably been created for some knob to get their face in the paper.

[Greedyfly]

[brachiopod]

Bloody English !!

Never satisfied unless you're moaning about someone. If it's not the "foreigners" then it's the 'Jocks' or 'Taffs' or 'Micks' - if there's none of those about you moan about "them up North" or "those soft Southerners".

And then you moan about those from your own region - "Ruddy Yorkshiremen / Bleeding Woolybacks" or "North of The River / Sarf of The River"

No wonder indignant arrogance is a national characteristic - shame it's not a World sport.


;o)

Oh dear brachiopod, you must hate it then being reduced to contribute to this English site and listening to our arrogant rambling.
Go on admit it, your biggest wish would be to be English so you could join in with us and feel so superior.
Anybody want to talk about the good old days when we had an empire?

[ugly_bob]

hmmm, not gonna get involved in this one.
Too many Northerners and Jonny Foreigners about.

[brachiopod]

Oh dear, jonnythebosh, but,..

err....

If you think UK = English, then you have a greater degree of ignorance, and a touch more arrogance than I had previously given you credit for.
