Yorkshire celebrates

摘要

It was #Yorkshire Day at the weekend, in case readers were not aware. No doubt some of you in the know celebrated with a Pontefract Cake, a Yorkshire pudding and a piece of Wensleydale. Ail on the same plate.But is Yorkshire ever really out of the news? As South Yorkshire Mayor Dan Jarvis put it. the county has an internationally acclaimed arts and cultural offer, outstanding scenery, former pit villages and international cities. 'Yorkshire boasts an incredible and wonderfully diverse range of places to visit and enjoy!'God's own county's sporting prowess is dazzling everyone too. 'From the "Yorkshire Wall" of Maguire, Walker and Stones [who helped power England to the Euro 2020 football final], Barnsley's own Lioness Bethany England; and the region's Olympians mopping up the medals in Tokyo - we're still going for glory in the sporting arena', the Mayor added.Given this, Diary is inclined to think that currently, every day is Yorkshire Day.Over on Twitter, ex-pat woman of Yorkshire Maggie Swarbrick celebrated by sharing her favourite Yorkshire joke. Man phones a takeaway in Leeds. 'Do you deliver?', he enquires. 'Nay lad', comes the reply. 'We de pizza and we de kebabs.'
