Thread Name: HAPPY Yorkshire Day
Subject: RE: HAPPY Yorkshire Day
Eeee hecky thump I've missed adding my "Hail Yorkshire" to this ere thread in time, but sod it; HAIL YORKSHIRE anyway.
As a bone and bread Yorkshireman I have been very disappointed with the lack of celebration for this day and the lack of coverage and support in the press.
The biggest and best support as a whole region and community I have come across has been in bonny SADDLEWORTH. At The Saddleworth Folk Festival last weekend the Yorkshire Day flags and banners were all over the place.
People in this area ( previously in Yorkshire but now in Lancashire / Greater Manchester) refuse to accept boundary changes etc and still insist on calling themselves Yorkshire people.
God bless 'em. Once a Yorkshire man/woman, always a Yorkshire man/woman and long may they reign !
