    2 cricketers, 1 umpire, 1 tv chef, 1 newsreader, 2 tories and Thatchers lapdog. Ffs

    Us Yorkshire men have such a high regard for ourselves we couldn’t ever vote for anyone but ourselves!!

    There’s be a poll with 2 million blokes with one vote each.... given by themselves!!

    Percy shaw. Invented cats eyes
    Joseph priestly, discovered oxygen.
    Harry brearley. Invented stainless steel.

    Just three yorkshiremen off the top of my head who have impacted on billions of peoples lives for generations and kind of knock James Martins perfect souffle or bernard ingham nasty politics into a cocked hat
