The result of polls to find the greatest men and women from Yorkshire is a odd list.... https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6911275/greatest-ever-yorkshireman-michael-palin/ Ed Sheeran was only born here and wrote a song about being from Suffolk. Harold Wilson is a glaring omission. Kimberley Walsh was just a singer in Girls Aloud for a few years.
Glaring omissions - James Cook and Joseph Priestley. Not a fan of Parkinson but I'm sure he rates higher than the bloody Chuckle Brothers.
Not so sure your average Yorkshire person would even know who Jodie Whittaker and Penelope Wilton are. I had to Google them both.
Tinged with sadness for me personally. 4 years today mi mam passed.. Happy Yorkshire day tho to one and all.. May you all be well, and happy!
Ted Hughes, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Hockney, To name but a few more, I do despair that Clarkson is seen as a "great" Yorkshireman - great at what exactly? Being a tw*t, well done - plus he takes the p**s out of Rotherham whenever he gets the chance.
Good job Bronte sisters didn`t win or it would have been followed up by an even more tedious poll. 2,000 Brits took part not 2,000 Yorkies feckin Sun rubbish.
Shock horror, right- wing propaganda newspaper publishes crap.Next they’ll be claiming to be a friend of the working classes. Oh, wait a minute.
The Sun just published it, it wasn't their poll and it is in other papers and media outlets. What is interesting is who drew the list up in the first place and who the hell picked them in the poll. It's a sack of *****.
