Sir, – Am I the only person in Yorkshire who cannot quite see what all the fuss is about?

Please see below:

I never thought I’d see the like:
My once imperturbable fellow Tyke,
From dour Dalesman to city slicker,
All find their hearts are beating quicker.
They’re sewing bunting, and making plans
To welcome hordes of cycling fans.
The shops have run out of yellow paint.
All this fuss makes me feel quite faint.
There’ll be folk everywhere, TV crews,
Men in Lycra, wearing funny shoes,
Enough traffic and noise to waken the dead
(Just HOW many helicopters overhead?).
Call me a grumpy old woman, by gum,
But I think I’ll be fleeing to County Durham!
