Keep thi' sen calm, tha's from Yorkshire. There's many reasons Yorkshire is God's Own County, and one of them is the Yorkshire pudding. None of that Aunt Bessie's muck, we mean a PROPER Yorkshire pudding. Puffed up beauties the size of your fist, dripping with oil. Yorkshire folk are a proud bunch, and a lot of people don't get that. Well, of course they wouldn't, they're not from bloody Yorkshire! The county is hosting the second stage of the Tour De France this summer, our humble home watched by 3 billion people worldwide. Le Grand Départ will roll out from York Racecourse and then take to York's historic streets. And where better? The birthplace of the revolutionary Guy Fawkes, Sean Bean, Dame Judi Dench, and the brilliant Sir Patrick Stewart. The legend that is Dracula was written by Bram Stoker after staying in Whitby in 1890, and William Wilberforce - who's name may not ring a bell - was actually the guy who heroically abolished the horrific slave trade. Surprise surprise, the dude was Yorkshireman. Now then, let's stop larkin' about and get on with the next 21 points all of Yorkshire's children will understand. This is what makes Yorkshire, Yorkshire.
25. The Importance Of A Proper Brew
Get kettle on, luv. You've only got PG Tips? Get out. It's a well known fact, you definitely sound more Yorkshire after drinking Yorkshire Tea. Especially the gold stuff. If a good brew can't fix your problems, then things really are serious. What really pains us is knowing there are people out there that try to resuscitate their cold tea in the microwave. A true Yorkshireman would pour it down the sink - albeit while sobbing - and make a whole new brew. But it would never come to that, because we wouldn't allow a good cuppa to go cold in the first place.
24. When People Think You're From Lancashire
Nobody is perfect. But if you're from Lancashire, you're pretty close to Yorkshire... where there are such folks. In the devastating occasion someone mixes this up, it's serious business, man. Like, swords drawn, wands-out serious. How could you possibly compare the two places? For one, we have Vikings. Lots of Vikings. We have the best fish and chip shop in the entire country, mammothly epic castles, and what's more, God himself is in fact, a Yorkshireman. Honestly. You know nothing of the white rose!
