Don't they remember ? My friend Howard ( from Bradford) and I ( from Halifax ) declared Yorkshire independent in 1968. I'm President, he's been Prime Minister, ever since. Fancy you lot not knowing that !!

[Zacs-Master]

I have a friend called Howard. And he’s from Bradford.

If they do gain independence, would i have to apply for a passport to visit my favourite race-courses, all of which just happen to be across the border?

[atalanta]

I have to disagree about the Yorkshire Haka. Obviously the answer to the Haka is to perform the Hokey-Cokey. After all, that IS what it's all about.

Ey oop! Theer's a copy o' t'bible in Yorkshire, tha knows - it starts 'Fust there were now't' and when t'new Bishop visited we sang
'Joy to t' World' to 'Ilkla Moor'. T'words go reet well to t'tune.
Now't we Yorkies cant do, sithee.

[jourdain2]

I'd a friend called Howard, from Bradford, too...............creepy!

Translations done at reasonable rates.

When I, a Lancastrian, married a tyke my father wasn't happy. Later he used to say that the only good thing coming out of Yorkshire was the M62.

[jourdain2]

We used to say that of the M62, zebo, only the other way round. :)

As an honorary Yorkshireman (having spent 20 years in the county and still with plenty of connections there), I think it's time for a (particularly good) rendition of our National Anthem!

[jourdain2]

Wonderful!!! Double wonderful! Thank you so much, Buen! I got stuck on top of the Calf (no head for heights) and had to be helped down. Shaming :(

For those not in the know, the rocky outcrops are the Cow & Calf outcrop just outside Ilkley.
