Typical Yorkshiremen

[RichardB]

"The inhabitants of this smoky, yet healthy, city

are stolid and unassuming. They have had no Lordly

ancestors.

The main part have gained wealth and

position through sheer hard work, in speech they are

plain, outspoken, and unaffected, and in their manners

free and independent.

Undoubtedly they are typical Yorkshiremen; hospitable, kindly, and sportsmanlike ;

while for sheer heart-whole generosity they have few equals."

Some smell of goatscheese.

(O.K. I added a bit)

Now, I don't know about the writing on the University wall, maybe someone could get a photo, or transcribe it please.

Many Thanks

I don't know about the wealth bit but I do hope we continue to breed Yorkshiremen like this.

It would be a shame if we went all soft and threw our money away like these southerners
