That is a shocking allegation and totally unfounded, he has virtually no hair on his bonce
I live in Yorkshire and love it up here. People are nice, and everybody (apart from the Leeds fans) hate Leeds United!
One thing I can't get my head around though, is that nobody seems to use their lounge/sitting rooms... They all sit round the kitchen table like they are in an episode of Corrie or EastEnders.

Wuthering Heights (the song) has always been something of a guilty pleasure of mine.
Knocky's Nose
Mon nez est en Valenciennes..
I was born and raised in Bradford. Came to East Sussex when I was 18.
I would rather slam my conkers in a car door and smear chilli paste on the remnants than move away from Sussex.
So, unless I become a raging pervert - you lot are stuck with me.
I love this place.

That’s because the lounge, although in their house, is on loan from someone darn sarf.
I've been to York Leeds, Bradford Howarth Keighley and plenty of other places over the years, A school trip, Some work/business and one 'holiday' to visit a school mate whose mum moved there, when I was 14 ( not for long!) some really nice and beautiful places, but frankly Not a location for a continental kid, I also had my worst ever business experiences with a Few proper c**tS from Yorkshire. I've Never been threatened in business for chasing an unpaid invoice, both crooked tight arsed Yorkshireman. One even threatened to sue me for non performance, having done all the work, he expected me to deliver an engine and then he would pay for it . . . Turns out he's a bonafide fraudster with a proper criminal record. The other was just an ordinary chancer northern ****.
I can be in Half a dozen civilised european countries with a similar outlook to mine in half the time it would take me to get North of Watford Gap, I'll never be in any rush to go to Yorkshire.
Conversely, I have good friends and business relationships with people from Lancashire and the north west.
A minuscule sample granted, but one can only comment reliably on personal experience.
The tea is ****ing shyte. India makes good tea.

Northern Exile
So is Micky Adams.
He informed us of that when he came to view the house that we were selling in Wakefield when he transferred to Leeds.
This was way, way before his involvement with us.

There's lots of excellent breweries in Yorkshire, ranging from old timers traditional bitter to more recent innovative styles. I quite like an away game in Yorkshire with plenty of drinking time.

Do any photos exist of the Brighton Railway Works football team? I believe they played in white and improved engine green striped shirts
Whitechapel
Famous Last Words
My younger brother grew up in a football mad household, but had no intrest in football himself. He was much more in to animals and nature.
So from the ages of 5-7 he decided to support Leeds, because he thought they were called Leaves United.

I was on a business trip to Yorkshire once. We were staying in a hotel in Barnsley and my colleague parked his car. Just as he got out, two blokes walked by us and one of them punched him in the boat and walked away. No words had been exchanged: it was just a random act. For any southerners visiting, that's Yorkshire summed up
(I should say that I was at uni in Bradford for three years and loved it, I had very few experiences like that .. and when I did, they were usually southerners)
Funny how things taint your opinions of a bigger picture . . . . like seeing a refugee fleeing for their life, in a dinghy and believing the newspaper that says your country is being invaded.
One of the committee members of a car clab I used to be involved with was a very conservative old fashioned Yorkshireman. Painful to deal with. A contributory factor in me not being in anyway involved any more.
Your, and Howarth are very nice places. the museums are great, as is/was the photography/film museum in Bradford ( it was 35 years ago I went!)

I think if any photos exist they would clearly show the stripes were black and white (that replaced the original sepia and white kit they abandoned early in the 20th. Century).

I love Yorkshire. There, I've said it.
Junior PG the elder lives in central Leeds with a lass from Ponte. He went to York Uni and plays for Long Marston cricket club.
Scenery, hiking and beer is wonderful. It's also vast with a huge offer to the visitor.
Yorkshire folk? Have met some brilliant ones but....eg. it's a myth that they're more friendly. Certainly out hiking Sussex folk are more likely to say hi. Mind you, they can probably tell I'm a southerner from 50 yards.
