Yorkshire Quotations

I was in Yorkshire. We were a family of five and I used to be sent sometimes to get the rations for the week and was easily able to carry them back. It was like one egg and a tiny bit of tea.

I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.

The musical heritage of Yorkshire is deep and wide.

West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.

Obviously my preference is to open the batting but I just hope I'm not seen by people as purely an opener. When I play overseas I rarely open the batting. I batted number four for Yorkshire for most of the season and, in one-day games, I often move into number three ... if the selectors can't find a place for me as an opener, that's fine, I'll take any opportunity in the order.

My living in Yorkshire was so far out of the way, that it was eleven miles away from a lemon

When you're a fledgling youth-type adult, it appears that all people in their 40s look old enough to be in a painting hanging on the wall of a stately home in England. It's not until you limp into your 70s that people in their 40s look too young to vote, and college cheerleaders closely resemble Yorkshire terriers.

I couldn't really take a girl from Berlin to live in Leeds. I love it here. I miss the Yorkshire sense of humor and things like bitter and Yorkshire puddings, but I can still get my hands on salt 'n' vinegar crisps.

He has been an endless source of amusement, especially for the Yorkshire boys. They have never heard anybody speak before like Ed. At the crease he looks a million dollars, which is probably what he has got tucked away somewhere.

Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm and weak in the head.

During the last week of location work out on the Yorkshire moors near Howarth, I learned that I had become a Grandmother for the first time.

I'm usually catching up on things I should have been doing while I was filming - a pile of mail and bills. I like reading. I like watching a lot of sports on TV - football, boxing. I like cricket a lot. I try to get down to Lords to watch Yorkshire if they're playing down there.

I'm delighted it is done and that I can come back up to Yorkshire and complete the deal.

Because my flat is near the university, the agency had no difficulty in renting it out to students. To make it more presentable, I had double glazing, central heating and new carpets put in. It all worked pretty smoothly. And my lenders - the Yorkshire Building Society - didn't add any interest because I was letting it out, as is the normal practice.

A number of factors contribute to the sustained demand for rented accommodation in Yorkshire. The burgeoning student population of Englands largest county, with major universities at Sheffield, Hull, Leeds and York, among others, underpin demand for rented properties. Many students, after graduation, remain in the county and as first jobbers look for shared accommodation with their friends in the major towns. An important demographic trend that has sustained the growth of the private rented sector over the past decade or so has been the tendency for young people to leave the family home at a fairly young age to go on to further education and not return. In addition, there has been a net influx of jobs in some parts of Yorkshire which has helped create a requirement for more rented homes.

What can I do to help?” “You could ride up to Yorkshire and chop that old goat’s head off.” Charlotte sounded mutinous. “Won’t that make things rather awkward with the Clave?” asked Henry. “They’re not generally very receptive about, you know, beheadings and things.

Strange bent over these things, with a concentration to rival Minervois's own, questioning, criticizing and proposing. Strange and the two engravers spoke French to each other. To Strange's surprize Childermass understood perfectly and even addressed one or twoquestions to Minervois in his own language. Unfortunately, Childermass's French was so strongly accented by his native Yorkshire that Minervois did not understand and asked Strange if Childermass was Dutch.
