How could anyone from Gods County feel downtrodden?

4/5ths the size of Wales mate. More acres than words in the Bible.

Im sure BTM can add a few to that. I must be the exception to the rule as runnign the disco empties my wallet faster than i can earn it.

We're not downtrodden, but we do feel sorry for anyone who's not from Yorkshire :wink:

It's the largest English county, Lincolnshire is the next largest county (half the size of Yorkshire)
Rutland is almost 40times smaller

Wouldn't say I was tight but ..... the queen is still a princess on my notes and she blinks if ever I open my wallet.

Only because the non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire has grabbed "North East Lincolnshire" and "North Lincolnshire" into the bargain.  Devon's the second biggest if you ask me!

Actually if you look at ceremonial counties (ie, Yorkshire = North Yorkshire + West Yorkshire + South Yorkshire + East Riding) then I reckon Devon is biggest outright.  <ducks>

Even if Yorkshire is split up, North Yorkshire is still the biggest county in the country.  Gives you some idea of the size of Yorkshire.

We aren't downtrodden.  Just because we don't sing the praises of our county like some folks do....

Just to put the record straight - a cockney is someone born within the sound of bow bells - not someone who was just born in London

That's true.


http://www.stmarylebow.co.uk/?Bow_Bells

As it says in the first paragraph;
Quote;
to be born within the sound of Bow bells was the sign of a true Londoner or Cockney; and Bow bell's authority ends the medieval nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons.
