If it weren't for Yorkshire, and the work done on a garden shed in the West Riding, there'd have been no "European Cup

[I would guess that?] More than 50% of players in Lancashire teams that have won European Cups were not born in Lancashire, therefore the rest of the world is superior!

When I first came to England I volunteered in a pet rescue charity shop for a while.
One day a couple brought a teapot to the counter and put it down, I said “3 pounds please”
Chap: ”I’ll give you 2 pounds for it”
Me: “Sorry, I can’t give discounts”
Woman: “We’re from Shipley and we pride ourselves on never paying full price...”
Not only tight enough to cheat a kitten of its supper but proud of it.

Wherever they claimed to be from, there's no need for that.

It sounds like an excuse, it's not intended as one, but we've too many trying to live up to something that they see on the telly.

Can't like your post for the above reason.
