We do have that reputation.

It’s for a reason. We are both one of the poorest areas of the UK and - at the same time - one of the richest for many centuries. It just didn’t filter down. So most Yorkshire people are a touch canny with their cash.

Love the place. Love the people. But they can be tighter than a bull’s backside in fly season :)

It’s very beautiful. I’ve visited several times. My hero, King Richard the Third, was devoted to Yorkshire. I actually have a copy of the Dalesman sitting on my desk as we speak.
