Happy Yorkshire Day from a Yorkshireman doing ‘missionary’ work further west. Took my Spa to Ingleborough in celebration. Remembered this classic as well.

@Venod - they blew them up early. I was planning to go and watch but missed it.

Yes there are a lot of disgruntled people ranting on Facebook who missed it, I think they expected it to be 10, 11 o'clock time.

They knocking the chimneys and boiler house down at Ferrybridge C on the 22nd of August, I can watch this from our back garden.

Isn't emmerdale set in yorkshire?
On the odd occasion i've accidentally seen a bit of it everyone seems dressed up and made up to the nines going about their daily business/soapy rows.
A fictionalised village called Hotten which could be anywhere around the posh parts of Northern Leeds. I’ve cycled around some of the millionaires rows on the way to Ilkely & back. Some nice riding around there.

Was in Esholt, Shipley, now a mock-up set on the the outskirts of Leeds and the ITV studios in Leeds.
 
It clearly is a marvellous place.

I shall celebrate today , by very thoroughly 'knowing what I like, and liking what I know'

I mean I was born there (Huddersfield) and half my family lived in that glorious county for generations.

OK i did leave fairly young to spread the Yorkshire benefits more widely.

But I still love going back for the landscape , and the accent. :smile:

You left to perform Missionary work amongst the unknowing!

Keep it quiet,but i have a Yorkshire connection.:secret: My mum's cousin (he confessed one night down the pub) and my ex,ex lady friend (who frequently said that Yorkshire fish and chips were 'the best' which annoyed me immensely!) were born in Halifax and i lived in a village called Cowling,near Keighley for a year or so in the late 1980's.
One(maybe more) for here...
