So to you, although I'm as Yorkshire as you, I'm 1/2 Sassenach! Cool! Born in Leeds, lived within the bounds on Yorkshire all my life and still topped by a Chef!

ReplyDeleteOr are you actually 100 percent Yorkshire!
If you're born in Yorkshire you're a Tyke whatever your racial background, and the same for being English, if you're born here, you're it.
