We gave them children's TV legend and pop radio host Jamie Theakston...

The Dingles on Emmerdale always gave me a warm homely feel of what us Brightonians are very much like.
We're not all that different.

Hedley Verity (and Brian Close) both played for the cricket club that I was a member of until recently Rawdon CC in Leeds.

I live in Rotherham now.
If that is not enough, Tony Towner is still revered in these parts. (His partner in crime Ronnie Moore, who we see on the dog-walk, has god-like status.)
Richie 'Bear' Barker has a strong bond with the locals.

Yorkshire gave us Hendersons Relish
It is nicer than Lea and Perrins

Good thread - I'm Sussex born & raised, yet I have LOADS of connections to God's own country.
My aunt & uncle both worked at Leeds Uni.
My cousin lives in Leeds.
I've been to Leeds Castle.
I've walked on York paving often.
I've had a fair bit of Taylor's coffee in my time.
I ate a Yorkie bar once.
Errrr
I quite enjoyed Last of the Summer Wine and All Creatures Great & Small when I was 8.

Well, warm hearted comedy poking fun at Yorkshire stereotypes (but also at the rest of us) - as in the Hale and Pace clip above, is something that binds us, its very British. I was first sent that clip by a proud son of Hull.
On the other hand the litany of racist, sexist, homophobic jokes in the Harry Enfield clip has shocked me - mostly because I know I would have laughed at that in the 90's. How times change because today I thought that was one of the unfunniest sketches I've ever seen. I hope Harry himself would cringe at that today.
Oh, and has anyone mentioned Mark Beeney yet? Saved our bacon that did.

I am told that people from Yorkshire will reuse a tea bag. I can’t imagine anyone from Sussex engaging in such an act. Could this be the show stopper?

The Yorkshire tea adverts are brilliant.
Very self depreciating or at least self aware.
the Kaiser Chiefs doing the hold music, Parky holding interviews, Dynamo in the warehouse and the best Sean Bean doing the inductions.

The most curious thing..
I lived in Hull for a bit (except it was still Humberside at the time so that may not count).
