twowrights Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Nowt much wrong with Norfolk, but despite travelling far and wide I've lived in the same area of Yorkshire all my life and would never move away. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wussername Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I was born in Yorkshire during the war. My father was in the Royal Airforce. I am a Yorkshire man. I won the North Allerton BEST BABY competition. First prize. Eh oop! A few weeks later, only a few months old I left for Norfolk where I have lived ever since. If I go back should I inform the local mayor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I've been to Yorkshire many years ago and found it to be beautiful and the people friendly. Their Yorkshire puddings are to die for with lashings of gravy, gravy is not mean't for chips, salt and vinegar for chips In fact I remember a candle maker from Yorkshire...... He was halfway through making a batch of red candles. He had been working without a break for hours, so his wife bought him a plate of cheese for sustenance He was so keen to finish working he ignored the food and continued to be engrossed in his labours All of a sudden he let out a mighty sneeze and sent the red hot wax flying He opened his eyes and saw the wax had completely covered his cheese supper. He cried out in anguish "EEEE DAMN!" x 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
