Magic Mikey Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Part of my upbringing was in Saddleworth, Lancashire. I had a weekend away in Waddington, near Clitheroe, recently. They are very confused about which county they belong to. Red and white roses on the walls in the pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsChris Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Whichever county it is, it's the Yorkies that act like spurned lovers, shouting their mouth off about it and stringing white roses all over Saddleworth on Whit Friday. Try-hards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Having been born on Broadway but moved to Saddleworth aged 3 I always felt vaguely uncomfortable at living in Yorkshire as I got older, especially when it came to cricket but my Dad never left me in any doubt that I am 100% Lancastrian.
