A racist 'plain-speaking, it's only banter' Yorkshireman saying that a black player can't play for Yorkshire, purely based on skin colour, automatically based on the assumption that they're not from Yorkshire. In reality, in the 1990's, there were tens of thousands of black and Asian players that could have played for Yorkshire based on the old 'born in the historic county boundary' rules.

      This and 'The Four Yorkshiremen' [Python/ALT1948 Show] are amongst my favourite bits of comedy ever - I don't think that's all that unusual for a Yorkshireman. I don't know if it's peculiar to us, but things so proximate to one's native domicile are particularly stimulating to the ulnar nervous receptors.
      Is it the same for those shitey southern poofs?

    • @Lumibear.

      knottlawhites it's an extreme stereotype, obviously, but I doubt any true Yorkshireman would be offended by it, we used to be very straight talking people, you bluntly said what you thought of someone new, they just as bluntly did the same back, now you understood one another, no offence taken and no bull, and you got on with life, 'twas t' Yorkshire way. Shame it's dying off.

    There are some beautiful sites and breath taking views in the dales. Lovely place to visit on a hot sunny summers day.
