Today is Yorkshire Day! Originally Minden Day, commemorating the Battle of Minden in 1759 in which the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry played a major part, almost nobody outside God's County knows about it - and precious few inside the Ridings either...
So to help change all that, I'm going to play some John Barry, who of course is one of Yorkshire's favourite sons. And I'll be spending the whole day in England's biggest county to express my solidarity.
Ah’ll be celebratin' by ‘avin lots o' Yorkshires wi me dinner.
What’ll thah be ‘avin’ ???
An’, wot’s the afternoon Movie gunna be...... “Wutherin’ ‘eights” ???
Ey up, lad. Tha's a wessie? If yer wa' born before 1974 in Sheffield yer'd be one of uz. Otherwise, tha'd be one o'them southerners from't fourth Riding.
And who allowed the Yorkies to have a day of their own? They'll want independence next!
Since TG mentioned John Barry, it qualifies I'd say. In terms of celebration I myself will be drinking only Yorkshire brewed beers today. Much of it brewed in Barnsley, and you can't get more Yorkshire than that tha knows...

For Yorkshire Day, I am going to let Jim know that I am one of the 17 FSMers who has a current passport. (And I'm also wondering if Yorkshire Day is a political topic and that I should report all of these funny talking Brits to the moderator.)
A cuppa Tetley tea, do you Lady Huey?! Sugar? As i was saying to the Marquis of Elland at his summer house on the moors, the Earl of Poncey is partial to a potta proper of yorkshire tea in the p.m. With tiffin.
