    I've gone East Yorkshire even though it was East Riding and East Yorkshire never existed. Although Yorkshire is the logical answer.

    Humberside is a relatively recent construct, now only really used by the emergency services and the BBC for some reason.

    How about North Humberside as an option?!

    Hope you put the East Yorkshire and Humbersiders firmly in their place and told them the right answer. :)

    Yep, not a County anymore. If you’re South of the Humber you’re NE Lincs, if you’re North then it’s East Yorkshire

    Worse than that. I'm in London so I was surrounded by southerners giving it all that.

    The question wasn’t multiple choice - just which County did it happen off. I put down ‘Yorkshire.’ Come time for marking somebody asked if ‘Humberside’ could an accepted answer. I said no as it hadn’t been a county since the 1990s.

    Then the bloke behind me comes up with ‘East Yorkshire’ being the only answer as YORKSHIRE DOESN’T EXIST BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN BROKEN UP INTO REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIONS. Got more than a bit narked and said ‘Well I’m from Yorkshire. So are you saying I don’t exist?” Got a bit lively.


    Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire!

    I know Hull is in Yorkshire really, but I like to think it isn't.

    Used to love that chant at cricket, but since the news coverage of Manvers, it makes me cringe.

    2 don't exist only in historical terms.

    Yorkshire, as a historic county, is no longer a single administrative entity. Instead, it is comprised of four ceremonial counties: East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire.

    Humberside is not now a county as such. Tuther side of the Humber estuary is North East lincs.

    Apparently they collided off the coast of East riding of Yorkshire. (Although that appears a little confusing as Riding means third.) Clart eeeeuds.

    Hence south Yorkshire didn't exist till 1974. So us south yorkies were in the west riding of Yorkshire. Aaaaaaaaargh. :mad::)

    Actually East Yorkshire in name still doesn't exist. Although the inhabitants say it, as that.
