Remember the Elliott family and Chris Parkinson in the 70's...called themselves "Yorkshire Relish"? Well I enjoyed their stuff anyway.

The only good thing that ever came out of Yorkshire was the road to Lancashire

Lancastrians, Yorkshire men who ran off from the Vikings.

Sheffield United has not yet been mentioned. Or the other football team in Sheffield, Sheffield United Reserves.

The first football team ever came from Sheffield - which begs the question - "Whom did they play?.

If you're going to have Joe Cocker , you've got to have Boro lad Chris Rea.

Have you noticed how people from Northumberland, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire - are all turning up on this thread.

I think , to southerners - we must appear to be one great unwashed tribe of babrbarians.

Hey Betsy - We have never met but I was talking about you last week.   A few of us were reminiscing about 'worst gigs' and I recalled a story that Vin told me which concerned you, a dose of flu, hospitality in an empty house, a night spent wrapped in a pair of curtains and an irate husband. Can you confirm, deny or elucidate or did I dream it?

WLD - Northerners are most definitely a single tribe of unwashed barbarians.

One of the great lies is that people are more friendly Oop Nawth. What a load of bollocks! They're just more likely to stick their oar in, where it's not wanted.

Two things let me know when I'm in the north: the pervading smell of lard and a much higher proportion of tossers with antiquated, unpleasant opinions.

None taken. We poor Northeners, of course, crave the civilization and education exemplified by your modern and delightful insights. Given where your head is clearly inserted, I wonder that it's lard you detect.

There's a real possibility that the magnetic north and south will swap over in the next few years, would that make us northeners southeners? What a scary thought. Oh well, what ever happens tent face will still be an a***hole.

Hello Daicro,
South Wales it was,1970 something. Don't like to be too specific about location.Dunno how the irate husband got into the story , I suspect a little embroidery by Garbo, nevertheless , a real shitty, inhospitable, nightmare of an occasion , which, will not cloud my general opinion of people in South Wales who are generally down-to- earth , good eggs , like Yorkshire Folk .
This would sound better in Padgies accent " Yorkshire born,Yorkshire bred ,strong int' arm , thick int' 'ed ".
BTW Martin Carter wasn't a bad Yorkshire "turn".
