Neither Here Nor There

By Droog

Look! Up In The Sky! It's . . . Yorkshire Man!

Today is Yorkshire Day and someone had dressed Thomas Chippendale for the occasion.

On this day we make our Declaration of Integrity as follows:

"I, (name), being a resident of the [West/North/East] Riding of Yorkshire [or City of York] declare:
That Yorkshire is three Ridings and the City of York, with these Boundaries of 1134 years standing;
That the address of all places in these Ridings is Yorkshire;
That all persons born therein or resident therein and loyal to the Ridings are Yorkshiremen and women;
That any person or corporate body which deliberately ignores or denies the aforementioned shall forfeit all claim to Yorkshire status.
These declarations made this Yorkshire Day [year]. God Save the Queen!"

Naturally, there is only one piece of music for this most auspicious of days.
