anywhere in Yorkshire,

Which Yorkshire? There's more than one. The county is so great they made four of them  :P

There's north North Yorkshire.
There's south North Yorkshire.
There's east North Yorkshire.
And there's west North Yorkshire.

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

:)
I get Ridings and Farthings confused - one is Yorkshire and one is Tolkienshire - but I can't remember which is which.
I have had several homey experiences in and around York (including being fleeced in The Shambles - which is VERY home-like).
I will confess, however, that as a country boy, passing through Bradford-Leeds was a little scary.

Don't worry everyone thinks that about "dirty Leeds"  ;)

Yorkshire is Ridings. They mess with county names and boundaries so much in this country you never know where you are. I think they're still worried about fifth columnists. My brother used to live in Avon, which used to be part of Somerset. He now lives in North Somerset, which is still separate from the rest of Somerset. I live in an area called Sefton, which originally was a tiny village in Lancashire. Then the county of Merseyside was created, and Sefton became the whole area of north coastal Merseyside, encompassing large towns like Bootle and Southport. Then Merseyside was scrapped as a county, but still exists as fire, police and ambulance services, as well as having a transport network. Plans are now afoot to change things again and create a Greater Liverpool. It's all very confusing. I have even heard of one man who refused to accept his pension because it was addressed to him in Merseyside and he insists he lives in Lancashire.

I hope somebody told him to; "Calm down. Calm down."
[Sorry. Couldn't resist  :D ]

Yorkshire:
North Yorkshire (though a lot of the Highway Department's road signs are still labelled North Riding of Yorkshire)
South Yorkshire (which is geographically above West Yorkshire. At least it is when driving down the A1)
West Yorkshire
East Riding of Yorkshire (because East Yorkshire doesn't exist. Or they change the name either to Humberside, or East Riding & Humberside, or some't like that??  :-\ )

The best one is that my part of North Yorkshire is labelled not as part of the region of 'Yorkshire', but being as part of the 'North East'.

Serves you right for living in Middle Burg and being neither here nor there.

My list of 'Dislikes' is so broad and far reaching it cannot be constrained by a mere list.

I am however fortunate that it is smaller than my non list of 'Likes', probably because I can't be bovvered with things I don't like; why waste time on stuff you don't like?

Like crap music
