Tuesday is Yorkshire Day, when men and women from across this historic county gather to celebrate their... well, Yorkshireness - leaving outsiders baffled about why they have such a high opinion of themselves.

Brass bands, flat caps, whippet racing, wrinkled stockings, beef dripping with bread, pie and peas.

The above are just a few of the umpteen cliches associated with "God's own county".

Although born in Lancashire (the real numero uno county ) I've lived and worked in Yorks. for 26 years. Anyway, have a happy Yorkshire day to all the Tykes on the Org.
