Wanna Know What It's Like Round Here? Watch THIS

People who live south of Potters Bar (a very English euphemism for Southerners) often ask, not unreasonably, what it's like round here in Yorkshire.   This two minute 15 second film just about covers it:

Best viewed in HD and full screen.

My childhood was in Surrey (well south of Potters Bar) and to the best of my recollection the furthest north I had` travelled until the age of 8 or so was Ruislip, north west London.    As far as I was concerned 'The North' was a foreign land of industry, grime and deprivation.   The 'Here be Dragons' on the map.   How wrong I was.
