Are you working for the Yorkshire Tourist Board this morning ;0)
I may have been to the Ridings but can’t recall what they are called now, should never have been changed
I was brought up in a part of Lancashire that was east of Yorkshire before the boundary changes (can you work out where that was?). I spent many hours cycling round the West Riding.
I've spent all morning wishing everyone a Happy Yorkshire Day! I give the same greeting to all of you - big smile on my face.
bhg - probably the Todmorden area? Or, going back even further, the Forest of Bowland?
jourdain - the River Ribble was the boundary in those days, along with the Hodder. I was in Clitheroe, the western town and county boundary being the river.
As a Lancastrian, i shouldn't be saying this, but i adore Yorkshire. Particularly the many racecourses and their adjoining communities there:-)
And especially the friendliest of them all, the folk at Beverley racecourse. If the weather was better, i'd be sorely tempted to undertake the 4 hour round trip for today's meeting.
