In my travels I have never met people so county patriotic! Any ideas as to why? It is beautiful there, and people really push that they are from there, isn´t it divided into south and north yorkshire too? It includes leeds....anyways maybe I have been out of the country for too long!!
North south and east.. and parts of it were taken away too...has quite natural borders.... It has won wars under the house of York, has been financially self-supporting.. ...and has always been far away enough from London ... then of course there is Geofffrey Boycott Great place to live though... people are very friendly and have no airs and graces in the main....
