Ever booed when you're in the car and you've passed a sign saying you're entering Lancashire?

Perhaps you've insisted on a roast with Yorkshire puddings every Sunday.

Maybe you've had to sit out in the beer garden of a pub even though it's 5°C because the sun is shining.

As well as our accents, our outlook on life and our tribal dislike of anything on t'other side o' Pennies, there are plenty of things we have in common as Yorkshire folk.

Below for Yorkshire Day we've produced a list of 50 things a good proportion of White Rose people will have done, some of which you could account to regional eccentricities.

Others? Well, to us they're just common sense.

We reckon if you've done 25 of these you are bonafide Yorkshire, even if you weren't born in God's Own County.
