Don't blame me, it's not my fault Yorkshire keeps getting these accolades

 

[Part 2]

Number 9 look like Picadilly Gardens.

So forget the Dales, the Pennines, York Minster, Ilkley moor, Brontes, all that shit, come to Yorkshire for a bit of a pub crawl? It's a bit of a weak reason to fly over from New York, surely? And I've been to Kelham Island, yeah the beer is great, but somehow I think the yanks are going to be disappointed by a few pubs just off the ring road.

Have you been paid by the Yorkieland Tourist Board for this bit of advertorial?

No chuck, but I do love Yorkshire

Don't say that to Shirl - she'll get mad if her commission from the Yorkieland Tourist Board is threatened in any way.

The write-up of Scotland (16 with a bullet) was also pretty crap. But at least they didn't call it "Scotland, England".

 

[Shirl]

I do know that all these accolades are bollocks but it's good for a laugh and there's still a bit of me that thinks Yorkshire is the loveliest place on earth

Yorkieland may be nice enough, but County Durham is better.

'Riddled with lochs'? They make it sound like we need a trip to the clap clinic.

Sod off you bleeding Durham inbred. Yorkshire is the dog's bollocks

They might have been thinking about the dreaded midges. I got bitten on my dick when I was there on my holidays with the family as a kid. Who knew they had such fearsome teeth that could bite through clothing.

The word 'itch' doesn't even begin to explain it.

I really do love Scotland and Wales too. The British Isles are riddled with wonderful/stunning places to live/visit

Well, I didn't like to mention the bestial habits of Yorkieland, but seeing as you mention it...

Apart from Yorkshire.

Looook Mister It's not my bleeding fault you come from Durham. Suck it up you bastard. Be glad that you know me and that you are always welcome in my YORKSHIRE HOME!!!

You're a bloody Lancastrian traitor anyway, sticking up for fucking Yorkieland.

 

[Shirl]

Mmmm, I might have to add this I keep seeing adds about dumped dogs. There's some right bastards in Yorkshire as eel

Sadly you get dumped dogs anywhere - heartless sick bastards who do it.

Yes, I admit to being born in Burnley in Lancashire. I told my dad when I was aged 7 that I was going to live in Yorkshire because it was a green and pleasant land. It took me until I was 23 buy a house in Yorkshire but I just knew I belonged here

Yes it is, oh and it has Yorkshire as well.

I imagine our Shirl is in a right rage right now!

Well if she going to keep posting these silly threads about how great Yorkshire is.

 

[quimcunx]

Where is Brixton Village on the list?

 

[peterkro]

Having grown up in Christchurch and being mildly fond of the place, as far as NZ goes it's the fucking last place I'd suggest visiting.No2 my arse I can think of about 30 better places within a hundred miles.

Number 44 might as well have been called L'enclume too

not a bad reason to come - better than skiing - and you can do the other things while you're waiting for the hangover to mellow out. You can do a great pub crawl drinking damned fine ale all the way from there to the station (and beyond!)

 

[Favelado]

The Seychelles at number 27 I note. Fancy putting those two to a vote?

the Seychelles isnt unique in the same way as Yorkshire tho. Any of those African islands would be pretty much as good, but there's no where quite like Yorkshire.

Apart from bits of Derbyshire, Lancashire, Northumberland...I'll stop there
