Most people in Hull can scuba dive in their living room.

Even though nobody likes them, that's a low blow.

Yorkshire is indeed God's County

I've spoke to quite a few people who have said they like my accent. However, saying that, my accent isn't that of a common one expected in Hull, even though I've lived here all of my life. One of the things I would like to change is 'do you want?' - 'would you like?' sounds so much better.

A lot of people also say the people in Hull are really nice... of course, there is always a few who aren't.

No. Leeds is the capital of Yorkshire.

Uriel · 30 Jul 2008 at 15:02

York is the Canberra or Yorkshire.

Ahh but then leeds would start to get too big and end up stretching near my area, thus causing me to get annoyed at traffic

Don't you live in a place so backwards it wants to remain a town instead of modernising?

I certainly do. The shops all close at 2pm on Saturday

Can’t beat us Yorkshire folk, especially those from Leeds

Down to earth and always straight to the point!

Head into the countryside and nothing comes close to Yorkshire, scenic wise.

Ahhh but if Wales was flattened out it would be twice the size of England

And a lot less pretty.

But what happens when England flattens out? Would Wales be bigger then?

Leeds is the biggest city in Yorkshire. York is the capital of Yorkshire. Otherwise we'd all be living in Leedshire.
