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.

Yorkshire was an Independent kingdom for about 100 years from 875

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 ......

Geoffrey Boycott could be crowned your king - dispensing wisdom and advice to his grateful subjects, from his throne.

Even as a Middlesaxon ....

... (county of the home of cricket) who lives in Surrey, acknowledge Yorkshire as God's own County.

Gods own Country is however Surrey, here is the proof

North of the Thames will be Middlesex.  People confuse geography with local government.

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.

"Stick t'kettle on" is not how one pronounces it. It's "THE kettle on" on here where the sun always shines.

You seem very frack-tious today, Euan.

Put your feet up and watch a few episodes of "Heartbeat" or "All Creatures Great and Small" or "Last of the Summer Wine" to relax your mood.
