Nothing like declaring a special 'day' for yourself to highlight an inferiority complex, is there?

Lancashire has a special day too.

Only it's more usually know as "Some clueless pie-eater opens his gob without thinking again day"

Not surprising, late November: dark dismal and probably pissing down rain.

How apt

Try being lumbered with a merseyside address, now that is reason to be miserable

...in exile

I was staying in North Yorkshire last week so I partook in a few hand pulled beers (unusual for me as I'm an Artois man).
Old Peculiar, Black sheep, Anglers, Golden, and a couple of others that I've forgotten the names of.
Tried the lot and enjoyed the change. Plus the landlord and landlady of the Hare and Hounds at Staxton were permanently p!ssed, day and night. Great fun.

The landlord, Martin, said he gets some of his beer from a local brewery. Could have been Cropton?

Nice lobster salad in there mate.
Freshly caught that day in Scarborough by one of locals out in a boat.

Just like the start of August in most of Yorkshire then.

Look North have just done the stats.

If Yorkshire was a country, we'd currently be in 11th place in the medals table.

More medals than Australia
