  1. Nah, that's Manchester and the west. The sun shines here all the time. :wink:
     
  2. By Eck!
     
  3. Remind me: which companies operate seaplanes to Yorkshire?
     
  4. I have been there on a boat......It was called York...........well, it was floating, but it might have been a barge.

  5. Thought you were a monkey-hanger? ;-)

    did have a nice ride out through the dales last summer, and stopped over at a very nice pub (can't recall exactly where). Haven't been through Bradford, Leeds, 'uddersfield, Wakefield or similar for a long while, so guess they must have improved somewhat.

  6. No, thats Anth. I'm a smoggy in exile. :tongue:
     
  7. Apologies for that - at least I didn't mistake you for a macam!

  9. "Improved" in what way? The only time I was riding through Bradford, it looked very much like Wuthering Heights meets Waziristan. I imagine it still does.

    I couldn't help feeling that you could set up some amazing clubs in the old mills.

    Yo. Man.
     
  10. In an ironic way, but living in a bit of a glass house, it would be a bit silly of me to start throwing bricks.

  11. Any big town is like any other big town. There are good, bad and indifferent areas everywhere.

    I think where Yorkshire does score well, over and above a lot of the UK, is in it's beautiful and varying countryside and small country towns and villages.
     
  12. Come on El T. That just isn't true. :eek: Would you sooner live in Barnsley or Bath?
    They all have good, bad and indifferent areas, it the % of each that makes a place somewhere you're likely to want to live or not.
    Chelsea is not Tower Hamlets.
     
  13. C'mon Bath has its bad areas too. As has London. Stop playing with places/words :smile:
     
  14. Must do. It's just that there are fewer of them. :smile:

    London is a mixture of the brilliant and the utterly wrist-slashing dire.
     
  15. Which is why I said that every big town has a mix of good, bad and indifferent. :smile:
     

  16. Very much like Lancashire, or Hampshire or Cheshire or Dorset or Cornwall. Ya catch ma drift.

    On another note can I just say I always feel ripped off when I am in Yorkshire dont know why, annnnd it always feels damp I drive through as fast as I can. The M62 at Leeds is the biggest nightmare EVER and Jimmy Savile was a Yorkshireman.
