By 'eck Lonely Planet! What's so chuffing great about Yorkshire?

Hearing that Yorkshire had been voted the third best place to visit in the world by the Lonely Planet – yes, that Lonely Planet and this whole, massive world – I had an instant reaction: oh no. Not that Yorkshire isn't a beautiful and fascinating part of the country. It is. But because everyone who lives there – or once lived there, however long ago – already blimmin' well knows it.
