Thread Name: HAPPY Yorkshire Day
Subject: RE: HAPPY Yorkshire Day
Committed Yorkies have never given up those enclaves (actually they are border areas rather than enclaves). We still regard the traditional borders of the county as Yorkshire. Administrative Areas are different. Humberside was a County Council covering part of Yorkshire and part of Lincolnshire and was never going to change our proud traditions. Same for the Lancies - see the website clickies. There used to be a href="http://hullshire.quickseek.com/">Hullshire administrative area And, of course, the River Humber (too thick to drink, too thin to plough) provides us with lovely tidal beaches here in Hull. It's just that mud hasn't really caught on yet!
