Yorkshire CCC

Is this a Friday Wind Up?
EDIT: I just googled it and see it's true.
What amazes me is that Yorkshire has never declared independence.

Sadly, the robust and autocratic management style of Erik Bloodaxe pretty much put an end to that.
But perhaps now's the time for change ......

Who says we want a king ? The last one wasn't much good.
In the People's Republic of Yorkshire we are all Kings.
Happy Yorkshire day from a Yorkshire Expat in the Midlands.
Even as a Middlesaxon ....

We should all ask for independence
After all, if Scotland stay in the UK they have been promised lots of extra benefits for staying, which they wouldn't have received otherwise.
Yorkshire joke for Friday
A Yorkshire woman dies. As she was a devout woman, her husband asks for the headstone to be marked:
Elizabeth Higginbottom 1939-2014
'She were thine'
Two weeks later, to his dismay, he finds that the stone reads:
Elizabeth Higginbottom 1939-2014
'She were thin'
Outraged, he phones the stonemason to tell he has missed off the all-important 'e'. The stonemason apologises profusely and agrees to rectify the error immediately. Two weeks later he returns again to the grave, only to find:
Elizabeth Higginbottom 1939-2014
'Eee, she were thin'
It's a four leeter from me too
Translation; all cars in Barnsley are four leeters, as they have a light on each corner!
The most blessed and varied county in the whole of the UK. A place where a welcome meets everyone, well it does from me.
A Russian spaceman was brought up in Barnsley - his name

It's not too many eees we should be discussing it's the h and the e that these smog eating, flat cappers need help with.
"Stick t'kettle on" is not how one pronounces it. It's "THE kettle on" on here where the sun always shines.
Hmmmmm HeavyMetalMike
Not much smog nowadays, and if there wer I'd have a baff. wonce drove through Bath though!.
And in mi baff ad put water, cos it ant spelt woarter.
So ...
We've two and a bit National Parks here and two and a bit Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
... do you really think that will save you from fracking?
I really don't think ...
... the people who called it fracking thought it through, everytime Batttestar Galactica fans see or hear the word they dissolve in to fits of school boy giggles!
@lion ...
... depends where you draw your line in the sand!
After all, Yorkshire is hive off from Northumberland and only so named because they couldn't keep the Vikings out!
