Craig,

 

I've been to Yorkshire too often methinks. I fully understand the instructions!  It could of course be a wee sideline Griff has, when business is quiet!

Hi Finny,

That can't be Yorkshire, there are no wippets or nervous sheep to be seen in the picture

 

Poppy the video was ok but what was with the people with the stencilled eyebrows or could this be the latest Norfolk fad?

I can't even understand that sign and I've thought I was good with northern lingo after spending many holidays on the norfolk broads...

I think you may be muddling 'Yorkshire' with 'Nottingham'

This is one of my favourite tributes to God's own county:

That's  North of the Humber language. Once across that bridge everything changes. I used to think we paid a toll for the bridge. Perhaps its a fee for entering Yorkshire!  Fortunately I can understand the Language my Father came from over the dark side!!

 

No offence folks............Just my humour. A lovely part of the country. £3.10 to get in, and they charge you again to come out again. Even the Welsh don't do that!

Ebbtide, checking your location I wud av thort you wud kno tha carnt expect to get t'best for nowt.

 

Even though I originally hail from the "City and County of Kingston upon Hull" (aka Ull ) I still am proud to call myself a Yorkshireman.

Hi Jeff. 

 

I am rather fond of  "Ull" even though its across the water. It has those funny phone boxes. Did they run out of red paint? 

 

I recommended it for a day out much maligned, very unfairly. Lots to see and all very close by, and of course this year Hull is the City of culture. Well deserved too.   The Maritime Quarter is also worth a look.

I have done a bit of touristy thingy in Hull, even stayed in the Station Hotel. Also sailed to Holland and Belgium from there. The locals are very friendly, or appear to be The one place I struggled was the indoor market, the smell of fish made me nearly sick! Phewwww!

 

Iain.

[jeffbroadslover]

Thanks for the comments Ebbtide but can I correct you on one detail?

 

Hull is to be the City of Culture in 2017, not this year.

 

 

Jeff

[Ebbtide]

Thank Jeff.

 

My mistake.

 

I see you live in Barton. I have relatives there and in South Ferriby.

That's where they make their fern curls

[Rincewind]

Hull had its own independent telephone network, hence the cream-coloured boxes. Not sure if the network is still independent though...not been there for many a year.

[jeffbroadslover]

Rincewind,  You are quite right about what used to be Kingston upon Hull telephones. Eventually there was a name change to Kingston Communications which is now commonly known as KC, hence the KC Stadium ( Hull City and Hull FC).

 

KC also provide the only internet service available in Hull, goes under the name of Kazoo.

Here is just another small reason that Yorkshire if often referred to as Gods Country

Hi Griff,

 

A few of the places on the film had that familiar look about them.
