TYKES

We’re a rare strange bunch ‘at live up ‘ere

But we’ve gradely grub an’ champion beer

An’ mony a famous name thou’l see

On Yorksheer own proud family tree.



Oor sportin’ ways are second ter none

Oor art an’ culture speak as yan

Us Yorksheer fowk ev Yorksheer ways

An’ when we say we laiks we plays.



Oor language is t’ English true

Oor thee, thou, tha’s are nothin’ new

Wi’ glottal stops an’ aitches dropped

The G at end is allus cropped.



So com’ thi ways to oor grand county

An’ sample sum o’ Yorksheers bounty

Oor ales are grand, oor looance too

An’ friendly fowk to welcome thoo.

Jack my friend I already am the proud owner of the 2018 Ebony Guardians Lambsfoot. However please accept my humble entry and count me in for this very special GAW because I know a friend that would love to have one of these special knives! For Yorkshire Day I will be Totin these two very special Lambsfoot examples!

Thank you very much Ron

I’ve eaten and LOVE Yorkshire pudding and steak pies.

Such a beauty of a knife - I don’t have a lambsfoot, a Sheffield or anything in ebony so this could potentially check 3 boxes in one package.

Thanks for your generosity!

Fun GAW Jack. My wife & I have been binge watching a bunch of British detective series & other Brit TV shows for the last several months, since we discovered Britbox & Netflix on our new "smart tv." Thankfully, I learned how to turn on Closed Captioning, because we got tired of looking at each other & asking, "What the hell did she just say?", or "Why don't they speak English?" We're also constantly pausing the shows to Google words or phrases.

This may be tactless....but when's Lancashire Day?

They won The Wars of the Roses...and I hear they had an Emperor at one time, George Formby

 

[r redden]

Jack I will carry one of my Arthur Wright and Sons Lambsfoot knives tomorrow ( our August 1) to honor your beloved Yorkshire.

And watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8MWb1FlODQ&list=RDu8MWb1FlODQ

Happy Yorkshire Day my friend and since I have a couple of Lambsfoot knives you have so generously gifted to me if I win I will give it to another well deserving member.

Thanks, you just sent me down the YouTube rabbit-hole, watching George Formby videos! I'd never heard of him, great stuff!

Back to Yorkshire content:

Good stuff. My family and I celebrate Holliday’s from other countries and cultures on a regular basis. I’m adding this one to the list. Nice GAW Jack. I haven’t earned an entry but applaud your contributions here!

 

[Cambertree]

Eeee is it yon time alreeady?! Ah thowt ta misen “Tha’d do well lad to mek thissen a fair wee strop ta keep yon Lambsfoot fettled n in feytin’ shape, like!”

(Not an entry by the way.)

Very good of you Jack sounds like a proud tradition. I'll certainly carry my stag lambs foot in honor of the occasion.
August 1st also happens to be my birthday and my daughter also shares the birthday. I'll be 40 she 4. So there certainly will be some celebration happening here.
I had not heard of a chip butty but I may see if i can rustle one up.

 

[eisman]

Well Jack, I went all out to celebrate for you. Had a heck of a time finding a chunk of Wensleydale. And since all these other folks seem to have a lambsfoot you may as well send that one my way. In the pic is the closest thing I have to one, a Sheffield made sheepsfoot. I have a hook from Otley (thank you very much) so please, no ferrets...

 

[jc57]

possibly a pie-eating contest

Not sure what yer bloody on about, and don't need no more bleedin' knives, but you had me at "pie-eating". I'll raise a cup (and fork) to that.

 

[Ironbut]

Y'all talk funny. Yinz ain't from arown these parts, are ya?

 

[bonzodog]

Happy Yorkshire day to all from this fair county

 

[ISKRA]

Happy Yorkshire day to all from this fair county

Right back at you!

So far I ony have an old florin with me, but I will have a pint in celebration and post some pics when I come home from work.

LOL! George Formby was the best! Lancashire Day is, off the top of my head, November 27th. However not many folk celebrate it as it's not really got pedigree, having only been around for 20 years or so. Were Yorkshire Day has been celebrated for somewhat longer.

Happy Yorkshire Day Jack! A very generous gift your offering. NOT an entry from me but I thought I'd put together a bit O' Yorkshire to observe the day

 

[Half/Stop]

Happy Yorkshire Day Jack and all our friends from County York!

 

[Astronaut FX]

Enjoy the day!

I slipped my ebony Guardian in my pocket this morning to honor the event.

 

[Old Hunter]

A very Happy Yorkshire Day to you Jack and to your fellow Yorkshiremen. I don't own a single English made knife (other than a WW-I SMLE bayonet) so I will carry a Case today for you and Yorkshire (to be sure, at the least, several craftsman of English descent helped to make it). Enjoy your day! Today is also my youngest daughters 29th birthday, so we will dine on eastern NC pork BBQ tonight in celebration - probably something we learned from our English ancestors once they settled this land. A picture of a previous pig, after cooking but before being chopped; and of course a Case Knife. OH
