Yorkshire Day 2010

t's here again - come Sunday.
Yorkshire Day!
This time the newly composed and recorded Yorkshire Symphony will be played on all the local Yorkshire BBC radio stations - and later that day it can be seen/heard on the BBC web page - so the downunderers, yankophiles and Kipling squad can get in on the act.
(There's a harpist from Haworth in the band!)

May I be the first to wish you all a Happy Yorkshire Day - and may you fly the flag and put it about - come Sunday.

As kids, listening to our elders, I think we could have been excused for thinking every day was Yorkshire Day!

Re: Yorkshire Day 2010

You mean every day isn't Yorkshire Day?

Happy Yorkshire Day to one and all, may we all be here for 2011 an' all.

I amy have mentioned in these pages before that my wife is India of the Roman faith. Her family celebrate Yorkshire Day with us and I serve up such occidental delights as roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding, they being Roman do all of the windmilling and hail marys, etc before we eat, they all sit back in respect whilst I intone my grace

See all, hear all, say nowt
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
An if tha does owt for nowt
then do it fer thesen.

Then we all bog in, one day I might tell them what it means

Thanks for the reminder Terry. I would have got around to thinking about it but it is not exactly a priority in this part of the world! Cheers.
