Oh just take the punishment Wolfie and have done with it (dreams of seeing BSJ spanking Wolfie with the shoe of doom....) Hmm seems I'll just have to accept the punishment, all I did was mention Michael Palin on a thread about Yorkshire Day and he is from Yorkshire hahaha

Where do you hail from Bluey? I was born in the "Whisky Capital of the World"
Dufftown in Banffshire, Scotland in 1956.
Dufftown stands on the river Fiddich, a tributary of the Spey. The town has a population of about 1600, it used to have nine working whisky distilleries. Three distilleries have since closed, but there are still six producing quality single malt whisky, the most famous brand being "Glenfiddich".

I've lived in Halifax, West Yorkshire since 1966.

Only just in Yorkshire, once you get south Sheffield, you're into unknown territory. Isn't this exactly where you live, queenofthehours ?

West Yorkshire has 60 different breweries, that's more than any other part of the UK. I'll drink to West Yorkshire, hic.
You can always tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't tell owt.
A Yorkshireman say's what he likes, and he like's what he say's. Yes, once you go south from Sheffield it starts getting creepy. Derbyshire, Staffordshire and the nether regions commonly called 'The Midlands'.....

Thank you for your question.
The answer is very simple.
I consider myself Scottish by birth, and British by the grace of God.
"God Save The Queen".

Honorary West Yorkshireman.... Hello Timeblue,
I must admit that after 51 years living in West Yorkshire, I've never felt like a Yorkshireman.
I've always considered myself as a British citizen, who just happens to live in God's own county, it's known as Yorkshire.
The map below is a Yorkshireman's view of the UK.

So now Timeblue is making enemies among his fellow Brits with these comments?!! He's having a rough time as it is dealing with the Americans he's been antagonizing on here! When will he learn? Good job, Wolfie! Keep him in line!

We get all the benefits of Yorkshire but with none of the pride. We do get Yorkshire TV and Look North so have been brainwashed in the ways of God's Own Country.
I once knew a girl whose father had made sure she was born over the border in case she was a boy in order to play cricket for Yorkshire.

In 1984 I used to work in the garbage bin of the West Midlands, it goes by the name of Telford.
The place was full of council rejects from the West Midlands area, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, Tipton, Wednesbury, Bilston etc.
The best thing to come out of Telford for me was the eastbound A5 and the northbound M6 back to sanity.
