Fear not, Roobarb!  We north country natives are made of strong stuff and can be friendly, even with each other.  However, the Wars of the Roses will persist in cricket, I fear.

Well, I can bow out of that one!  No interest at all to me.

Back to the White Rose - who knows which way it is worn in each of the Ridings?

West and North = white petal at the top.  East = green sepal at the top.

Sadly the boundaries of each are not what they were, and Lancashire is much reduced.  Their excellent Online Parish Clerks website until recently contained some succinct slogans such as "Don't say Cumbria when you mean Lancashire".  I looked for them a few weeks ago but they seem to have been removed.  Has somebody decided they were non-PC or something?  (I say this as Yorkshire born and bred!)

.... Errr.... ARE there any other counties than YORKSHIRE?
Happy Yorkshire Day, even though it's later in day than usual. We tykes are proud of being Yorkshire. I was sent many years ago to Lancashire as a missionary, and ended up marrying a Lancastrian, - but I've still not really managed to convert him.

 Both Counties are beautiful,but I think Lancashire has the biggest City Manchester, which had the biggest horrible slum areas .
In the Yorkshire Vet series the scenery is beautiful also in Last of the Summer Wine,and the series with the very large family and their son Reuben’s venture into business.
No programmes like those really about Lancashire .
Yorkshire’s large towns /cities are not as big as Manchester so any slum areas are /were not so big .
I do gasp sometimes at the beauty of Yorkshire , and understand the County’s pride.
Fewer programmes aboutvLancashire but as has been stated Cumbria used to be part of Lancashire ,and that part of England is also breathtaking.

A little noticed event two years ago was that Cumbria agreed to divide into two authorities:
1. Cumberland, 2. Westmorland and Furness.

Anc* has not noticed, whereas FindMyPast has always been correct.  I hope they remember Lancashire Day in Furness  and other places where boundaries are not identical.  Also Yorkshire Day in Sedbergh etc.

I wonder if they may be forced to join up again in 2028.
