The Yorkshire thread

[Harvest Fields]

Saw a good video this morning of Hitler's cronies failing to organise a trip to Yorkshire and him having to make do with Lancashire and him throwing a right strop.
Will try later to put it on here.

There is a spin off on that one about the villa. Well funny. Used to work in North Yorkshire along time ago. Lovely place

I have never been to the Channel Islands. Have you always lived there?

(Sorry thread hijack)

Yes I was born on the island. Lived here all my life. Been fortunate enough to be able to travel a fair bit over the years but never lived anywhere else. I never really wanted to apart from as a teenager and the place felt too small.

Work is good, the people are good, easy to earn money here if you want it. If I forget to lock the house before leaving for work I wouldn't bother going back as it's safe enough. The bad side is living expenses, the house prices are insane (offset by plenty of good jobs available though), everybody knows your business, you get trapped here all the time by fog or the ferry breaks down and you can't get more than about 100 metres away from another person anywhere.

People don't rush around here which is nice.

Bonfire Night, and I want some Parkin - no one has heard of it round here..

My step mum used to make awesome Bonfire Toffee too..

Guy Fawkes was born in York - the cottage is a hotel now opposite the Minster, it is really quirky I loved it.

Yeah I stayed there and it was really nice 🙂 It is dark though in the pub as it is gas lit.

Perhaps Mr Fawkes could do us all a favour and take some more gunpowder down the Houses of Parliament and blow the useless lot up .
