A glorious ramble around Yorkshire from one of our best loved poets.Im going to define the essence of this sprawling place as best I can. Im going to start here, in this village, and radiate out like a ripple in a pond. I dont want to go to the obvious places, either; I want to be like a bus driver on my first morning on the job, getting gloriously lost, turning up where I shouldnt. Im going to confirm or deny the clichs, holding them up to see where the light gets in. Yorkshire people are tight. Yorkshire people are arrogant. Yorkshire people eat a Yorkshire pudding before every meal. Yorkshire people solder a t before every word they use...If there were such a thing as a professional Yorkshireman, Ian McMillan would be it. Hes regularly consulted as a homegrown expert, and southerners comment archly on his fruity Yorkshire brogue. But he has been keeping a secret. His dad was from Lanarkshire, Scotland, making him, as he puts it, only half tyke. So Ian is worried; is he Yorkshire enough?To try to understand what this means Ian embarks on a journey around the county, starting in the village has lived in his entire life. With contributions from the Cudworth Probus Club, a kazoo playing train guard, Mad Geoff the barber and four Saddleworth council workers looking for a mattress, Ian tries to discover what lies at the heart of Britains most distinct county and its people, as well as finding out whether the Yorkshire Pudding is worthy of becoming a UNESCO Intangible Heritage Site, if Harrogate is really, really, in Yorkshire and, of course, who knocks up the knocker up?

I picked this up because I'm originally from Yorkshire and wanted to explore its quirks. The blend of humor and insight into Yorkshire life is fantastic. It really made me reflect on my roots!

Interesting Perspective but a Bit Dense
While I enjoyed some parts of this book, I found a few sections to be a bit heavy-handed. It definitely explores the meaning of Yorkshire deeply, but it could lose some casual readers. Still, worth a read if you're curious!

Not What I Expected
I tried reading this book, but honestly, it didn’t resonate with me. The anecdotes felt a bit disconnected, and I found it hard to stay engaged. Maybe it’s just not my style.
