Exceptional. No mention of Bob Carvers though. To help with your Sunday morning relaxation. http://www.buzzfeed.com/danieldalton/nowt-like-it
I love Yorkshire. Man goes on holiday to Europe, and travels to Rome. As he's looking around St Peter's, he sees a little gold telephone by the altar. Bemused, he calls over a priest. "Excuse me?" "Yes, my son?" "What's that small gold telephone doing in a church?" "Ah, that is the Pope's direct line to God. It costs €10,000 a minute." The man is quite impressed by this. He goes, gets on a plane and flies to his next stop; Moscow. He is looking around St Basil's Cathedral when there, next to the altar, he sees a little gold telephone. He calls over a priest. "Excuse me, father, but why is there a telephone over there?" "That, my son, is the Patriarch's direct line to God. It costs 20,000 roubles a minute." The man is, again, quite impressed by this. He gets on another flight and comes to the UK, and travels up to York. As he's wandering around the Minster, he sees a little gold telephone by the altar. He calls over a priest. "Can I ask a question?" "Certainly my son." "That little gold telephone; is it a direct line God?" "Yes, that is the Archbishop of York's direct line to God." "Does it cost, say, £10,000 a minute?" The priest shakes his head. "It would, but as this is Yorkshire, it's a local call - 1p a minute."
Things local to me they could have mentioned ... Patties Humber bridge Holy Trinity church The Deep Spurn point Kilnsea sea defences RAF Holmpton bunker complex
An excellent flick through; now to take you to the darker side . . . . [video=youtube;9uTALssbCsA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uTALssbCsA&feature=player_detailpage[/video]
Not one mention of anything in Hull and only one mention of anywhere in The East Riding. What a **** article that is. Just proves that every ****er in West, North and South Yorkshire don't see us as Yorkshire. I couldn't give less of a ****. I'm a Humbersider.
Carmine I have said this for so long I just don't know for how long, we are NOT regarded as Yorkshire by those who think Yorkshire ends at York. I lived, for a brief period in my life, in deepest Otley, lovely place, and I can go back to the 1950's and 60's when it was impressed upon me that Hull will never be regarded as part of Yorkshire by those same folk. We were that place by the muddy Humber, and we are, and that is why I gave my backing to the County of Humberside at least it gave us an area based on something tangible, the River Humber. All sorts went wrong with the administration of such stuff and when working in Bridlington the locals detested being lumped into a place name of a muddy river. But I still believe that for this area to progress is, in some shape or form, a variation of Humberside away form that colossus called Yorkshire, because to be lumped with that area has not done us, and continues to hinder, this area's development.
I consider myself to be from the East Riding and Hull. I rarely ever add "Yorkshire" on the end of that. We're not like the rest of the Ridings, we're nowt like those fookers south of the river, we are just...Hull and the East Riding. Some parts of the East Riding don't even like us from Hull. **** em.
Correct. I'm not sure why people have this illusion that Hull and/or the East Riding isn't 'proper' Yorkshire. Historically, we're more Yorkshire than large swathes of the North, West and South. Hull and the East Riding is 'proper' Yorkshire. Humberside was a concept created in the 1970s, whereas our traditional history has placed us in Yorkshire for over a thousand years. I don't understand why some mongs are adamant we're not part of Yorkshire.
From one of the so called 'Mongs' I do believe and if I remember correctly the full title for the city of Hull was, The City And County Of Kingston Upon Hull, no mention of Yorkshire, east, north or west and that was the historical name.
Humberside was an administrative title and a poorly administered one at that but it was a start and despite all that is said quite a few of today's people of Hull, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Bridlington and many other towns around the area were born in the County of Humberside, it will say so on their birth certificate.
