SO David Cameron reckons all Yorkshire folk hate each other, does he? And in a TV interview at opening of the Hitachi in Newton Aycliffe, he said that it was only a hundred miles from London.
Well, tha knows, it seems lots of bull manure (they might not understand the Yorkshire term for fertilizer) is being spread by them that live darn sarth and, as t’auld saying goes, hear all, see all, and say nowt, especially if thar’s not sure of tha facts.
But I suppose for a southerner, geographical knowledge of the best area in the country is maybe a bit much to ask as it is north of Watford.
