    In his speech to the Tory conference today, Cameron called William Hague the "greatest living Yorkshireman". Assuming that's not the case... who is?

    Mr. Doug McPuppins is hands down the best.

    Could you provide an up to date list of all living Yorkshiremen?

    Amazing.

    No. You have to do some research. There are more than four of them, though.

    Patrick Stewart. Why is this even a question?

    I'm more concerned with the greatest living Geordie.

    It would have to be Henry Asquith.

    Someone will also eventually realise that the four miners in the Monty Python sketch are from Yorkshire and use that too.

    What about the Bronte sisters? Because it's all about the YorkshireMEN? I see how it is......

    Well yes, because I'm pretty sure Dame Judi Dench is from York, too...

    But, David Cameron - bless his Etonian head - did say "Yorkshireman".

    OOP NAWTH.

    I'm fairly certain Patrick Stewart could beat Dench in a bare-knuckle boxing match. So while I'd love to sleep with her...

    But, since he dies all the time, if Sheffield's own Sean Bean got in a fight with Dame Judi, he'd expired. She'd win by default.

    And then "Sir" Patrick would come in and finish off the "Dame"

    Whatever the scenario, Patrick wins. It's not even a question. He's seventy and his wife is 32 for FFS.

    Not disputing it.

    Round 1: Sheffield's Sean Bean vs York's Dame Judi Dench.
    Winner: Dame Judi by virtue of the death of Sean Bean. Cause of death: Scriptwriter.

    Round two: Dame Judi Dench vs Sir Patrick Stewart.
    Winner: Sir Patrick, obviously.

    And as my dad was born in Yorkshire (my grandmother being a native, and not giving up the accent in 70 years living dan sath) you must now stick my Yorkshire Pudding down your gob.

    It is mythical. For example, they have a total different way of speaking. Down south, they might say "I'm going to have a bath" whereas OOP NAWTH they would say "**** it, let's go get pissed."

    Already hinted at it.

    Anyway, I think Michael Palin and Alan Bennett have good claims, alongside Dench and Picard.

    Speaking of Yorkshire pudding, my sister-in-law's family are from the frozen North. We've known them for decades. Anyway, when my Dad (southerner) first visited them he didn't understand a word of what they said. Plus he had to eat an entire Yorkshire Pudding as a starter (with a meagre portion of meat in the main). :p
