By eck, I'll go to foot of our stairs.......
We should be doing the right thing are telling all non-Yorkies how Yorkies are the best thing since sliced bread.
We should be making them feel really upset that they have been so unfortunate as to not have been born within the county boundaries of Yorkshire.
And then we should jeer at them.

Re: Over 50s Club Yorkshire
Millennia ago in the Kingdom of Heaven, God disappeared for seven days. On the eighth day the angel Gabriel found him laying exhausted and sweating."Where have you been oh Lord?"
"Do you see that blue and green orb down there?" said God pointing at the newly created Earth.
"Yes Lord, what is it?"
"I call it Earth and I've designed and built it and placed creatures called mankind on it. It is to be a place of balance. For example, do you see that great white part at the top? That is a land of snow and ice and is populated by white men. To the south it is all glorious sunshine and is populated by brown and black men. To the east it is a land of vast deserts and is populated by men who will become rich beyond their wildest dreams while to the west will be a land of vast forests and verdant pastures but the men their will live in abject poverty."
Pointing to a luscious sunlit green area dotted with newly created sheep on the hills, babbling brooks in the valleys and a general air of peace and tranquillity God said "That is my finest work, I call it Yorkshire. The men and women of Yorkshire will be the greatest in the world, famous for their sense of humour, willingness to help others and for their generosity"
"But what about the balance Lord?"
"Do you see that grey, dirty section just to the left of Yorkshire? It will be a land of constant rain populated by people of sallow complexions, strange accents and will have an air of futility and hopelessness about it. I call that place Lancashire"

It's enough to make me rush down to the church, bible in hand and repent my sins.....
.........I might be quite some time.....
