Lankies harking on about the War of the Roses is on a par with Rovers fans reminding us about 1995. Embrace the present folks and be grateful that we have supplied England with another sublime batting talent in Harry Brook.

It’s a busy day here in Skipton. The High Street is closed to all traffic with lots of activities set up for children. Happy Yorkshire Day everyone. Our beautiful county looks wonderful in all its glory today.

Let's celebrate Dewsbury, Rotherham, Pontefract and Middlesbrough.

Aye, a fair old queue as I took the young un down Broughton Road to the nursery.

Great day for it.

The only county that have to constantly remind themselves it's beautiful to get through the grim reality of life their..... if patting yourself on the back for mediocrity was an Olympic sport, Yorkshire would have produced a true world best.

As it is..... you'll have to wait for your Jimmy Anderson moment.

Yeah, in minority sports that most of the world don’t care about. If they focused on proper sports they might have a top flight football team, or a top flight cricket team….. as it is, congratulations on the bmx biking for man child’s etc…..

Wow so Olympic Sport is minority sports that no one cares about

Good people come from Yorkshire. Proof is some of them support Burnley.

Yep….. it’s what you do for a good job. Lot of similarities between the Irish people And Lancashire people…. Low ego, self deprecating…. Rather than full of self praise for average stuff.

For example…. We laughed when Jimmy Anderson, the world’s best, described his career as decent…. Proper grounded. Meanwhile, Johnny Bairstows still throwing his toys out of the pram having been out of form for 2 years….. and we all think he’s a bit rubbish.

Correct…. Virtually nobody will attend mountain biking, bmx, walking, rhythmic gymnastics etc etc when the Olympics is over. Yorkshire aren’t winning medals in the core sports are they? Just the fringe, minority stuff.

Oh yes, that beacon of Yorkshire, Yorkshire Cricket Club is famed for it's multiculturalism and inclusivity.....

The wars of the roses had very little to do with Lancashire and Yorkshire - just two branches of the Plantagenets fighting it out. In the end there was a marriage and they all lived happily ever after.

Self praise is no recommendation is how we're brought up in Lancashire. It keeps us grounded.
