BY ECK . . . regular blippers will know that Yorkshire is THE best place in the world - the biggest county in England ! So imagine my surprise, as a Yorkshireman born and bred, to discover only today that all this beauty is actually - a huge carpet !

So I finish with this short text for . . . you can tell a Yorkshireman anything, but tha can't tell im much !

A Yorkshireman's wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "She were Thine" engraved on it.
He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be ready a few days after the funeral. True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look.
When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "She were Thin".
He explodes - good grief, man, you've left the flamin' "e" out!
The stone mason apologises and assures the poor widower that it will be rectified the following morning.
Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason - "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you"..
The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud - "E, She were Thin".
