House of Lancaster Led by a Welshman

[claretbob]

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.

[beddie]

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.

[TheFamilyCat]

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

[dougcollins]

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

Great day for it.

[dandeclaret]

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.

The records show Lancashire 1 Yorkshire 0.

Struggling to understand why Pontefract is in that list....

It's a shithole in Yorkshire, like the other three.

Hey, they make Haribo in Pontefract!

In 2012 Yorkshire got more Olympic Medals than Australia

It does ... They are found just off Junction 4 on the M65

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…..

[dandeclaret]

This will come as a huge shock…… but I’m from Burnley.

Wow so Olympic Sport is minority sports that no one cares about so thats why billions are glued to their TV's watching something no-one cares about ...

[Selby Claret]

My daughters fourth birthday today

Born in West Yorks
Lives in North Yorks
About to start school in September in the East Riding of Yorks

Still a claret and has already mastered the three syllabled Burn-er-ley chant

[beddie]

This will come as a huge shock…… but I’m from Burnley.

And there’s me thinking you’d left your beloved Lancashire for foreign lands.

[ecc]

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

[dandeclaret]

And there’s me thinking you’d left your beloved Lancashire for foreign lands.

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.

[dandeclaret]

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.

Bit weird considering the Lancashire equivalents. And I’m born and bred in Burnley.

Lots of them: Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Hertfordshire, north London, Ichikawa, Tokyo, Yorkshire, Essex, east London, Algarve, northern Thailand.

I am a Lancs/Yorks hybrid through birth. Father from Oldham, mother from Skipton. Born in Skipton.

What do Yaarkshire people actually DO on Yaarkshire day? All go out/meet up and spend even less money?

They wistfully check the bus timetables to Lancashire.

Went to a Spanish theatre, to watch an American Musical, followed by Italian Food.

Quintessential Yorkshire that

Thats because we celebrate multiculturalism

[dandeclaret]

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

[LincsWoldsClaret]

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.

Shame we can't have a positive thread about God's own county. Sad to see some chips on shoulders preventing it.

Usual suspects am afraid dave ... some of them have a bag of spuds on shoulders not just a chip .

Good Bants though with most of course

Who named it God's own country? Yorkshire folk, that's who.

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