I’m going to start here, in this village, and radiate out like a ripple in a pond. I don’t want to go to the obvious places, either; I want to be like a bus driver on my first morning on the job, getting gloriously lost, turning up where I shouldn’t. I’m going to confirm or deny the clichés, holding them up to see where the light gets in. Yorkshire people are tight. Yorkshire people are arrogant. Yorkshire people eat a Yorkshire pudding before every meal. Yorkshire people solder a t’ before every word they use... \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf there were such a thing as a professional Yorkshireman, Ian McMillan would be it. He’s regularly consulted as a home-grown expert, and southerners comment archly on his ‘fruity Yorkshire brogue’. But he has been keeping a secret.

So Ian is worried; is he Yorkshire enough?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo try to understand what this means Ian embarks on a journey around the county, starting in the village has lived in his entire life. With contributions from the Cudworth Probus Club, a kazoo playing train guard, Mad Geoff the barber and four Saddleworth council workers looking for a mattress, Ian tries to discover what lies at the heart of Britain’s most distinct county and its people, as well as finding out whether the Yorkshire Pudding is worthy of becoming a UNESCO Intangible Heritage Site, if Harrogate is really, \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e, in Yorkshire and, of course, who knocks up the knocker up?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57379632710014,"sku":"NW9780091959968","price":12.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780091959968.jpg?v=1778248195","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/neither-nowt-nor-summat","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
