A public holiday, celebrating the day that Yorkshire entered World War II on the side of Britain
It turned the tide of the war at a time when Hitler and his forces of darkness seemed to be winning.
There's a famous story about a heroic batallion of whippets from Halifax who sank a prototype Nazi battleship off the yorkshire coast.
They gave their lives so that we could be free.

Generally on Yorkshire day after the 9 minutes silence, we recite this www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvhpD9XsrsE to the tune of Dvorak's New world symphony
(the Yorkshire national anthem)

traditional breakfast today is black pudding boiled in milk and a piece of hovis bread dipped in beef dripping.

That's remided me to go get myself a beer

That far better than what Wikipedia says. I think you should write 'The Cockweasle Book of Everything.' With a history of the world and all the knowledge within!

Yorkshire used to be a powerful city state, much like sparta or athens was in ancient greece.
It only became part of the uk in 1971
( Cockweasle, Fri 1 Aug 2008, 8:50, archived)

It was a city state before
It joined the UK in the seventies

Minden Day of course
I shall be wearing a white rose, but I won't be singing "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at", because it's a bloody stupid song (even if it is the National Anthem, not that crappy Hovis ad).

edit : black pudding, though delicious, is of Lancastrian origin

BOLLOCKS!!

(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 1 Aug 2008, 8:35, archived)

"Bury in Lancashire is often claimed as the black pudding capital"
Why is it bollocks? Certainly other countries have a blood pudding, but the English version's origin is considered to be in Lancashire.
Is there an Australian version, perhaps made from wombat blood?
( finnbar always employs the double tap, Fri 1 Aug 2008, 8:39, archived)

nah no aussie blood pudding
I'm just saying that references have been traced back to homer's odyssey. BOLLOCKS!! Was for comedic effect since that Ancient Greece was a long time be for Bury.

I am an ex-pat Yorkshireman
and as such have no sense of humour.
Here are some Lancastrians having fun with their black puddings. Skip to about 3 minutes in.

I'd believe that. Here's a joke dad likes to bring out
"What's the difference between a Scotsman and a Yorkshireman?

A Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with all trace of humour and generosity removed. BOOM BOOM"
(k3b/-\b Peace man., Fri 1 Aug 2008, 8:56, archived)

hahahahahahahahahaha
I thought that the answer was a Scotsman is better
( Cockweasle, Fri 1 Aug 2008, 8:57, archived)

Personally I swap the scotsman/yorkie/queenslander/jew/tasmanian/etc
depending on who I'm talking to
