Where a outs in Yorkshire are you...remember as well as being the best county, it is also the biggest.

What are your thought on the D4 after the fr, was the fr a 140 or 170 (assuming it was a mk2 oil burner)

Hi from Leeds area. The FR was the 170 so performance pretty similar. The D4 is a lot more softer and a more comfortable ride. The winter pack is great on these icy mornings which although the FR came with a windscreen booster was not as good as the heated windscreen and booster that the Volvo has.

Yorkshire has a larger population than Scotland. Maybe we should go for independence.

I'd vote for that! Theakstone's has done for me once or twice!

Yorkshire Claims

Now Listen Up
Whats all this about Yorkshire Tea then, I reckon you lot lay claim to a lot more than you are capable of.:s
Driving round your county I have yet to see a tea plantation !!!

 

[Kev]

Haha. That fine Yorkshire Tea. Another good brew.

 

[Ray the Brake]

It's where you live

I live in Leicestershire and we have the best curries in the country !!
Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, Stilton, & King Richards body..................
So we are the DEADcentre of the universe:angel:
Oh and I forgot to mention, running water & electricity

 

[lmafudd]

Hey Ray! I was born in Hugglescote next to Coalville. Have lived in Whitwick, Greenhill (the private bit) and both daughters live in Leicester and work at the Royal.

I'll be moving back there when I retire (a while yet), probably to Kibworth Harcourt area.

Leicestershire is a great County, often overlooked in the rush North or South!

 

[Kev]

John Smiths. Tetley. Yorkshire Pudding. More fine Yorkshire products.

 

[lmafudd]

Ugghh! John Smith! P**s 'o' the north! Horrible stuff. One thing that definitely isn't good from Yorkshire!

The good news is that Burton-on-Trent isn't far a way and marstons always travels well uphill!

 

[Kev]

Marstons is good stuff. Indeed I have a have a bottle open right now.

 

[denn1s]

Tetley never traveled we'll out of Leeds, it was best in the town hall tavern.

But it is no longer made there so that is out.

When talking of marsdens, I am a fan of pedigree.

Yorkshire is now the home of the micro brewery, there are 15 in sheffield alone.

Imafudd,
Small world really then, I live on the new development half way up the Bardon Road.
Originally from near South Charnwood School, then Newbold Verdon before I got married.
Cheers
