  • Yorkshire Day & The Yorkshire Motto.

    Today, August 1st. is Yorkshire Day and so I've decided to publish the Yorkshire Motto.

    Yorkshire Day is a fairly recent innovation, chosen as the date of the Battle of Minden in 1759 when soldiers from Yorkshire regiments picked white roses (the symbol of the county) from nearby bushes as a tribute to their fallen comrades.

    THE YORKSHIRE MOTTO

    Hear all, see all, say nowt
    Eat all, drink all, pay nowt,
    And if tha ever does owt for nowt
    Always do it for thissen.

    (Translated into standard English - it doesn't scan properly though.)

    Hear everything, observe everything, say nothing
    Eat everything, drink everything, pay nothing
    And if you ever do anything for nothing
    Always do it for yourself.
