Just curious how spread out we are. I'm up in West Yorkshire myself.

Edited to add: Hi /all! Please remember this is a UK-based community, just in case you're confused. But you are of course welcome. :)

(Please remember that anything you post on the Fediverse might stay on other instances forever, even if you delete it from yours. I'd recommend you not get any more specific than county or local authority level.)

After living in several places I seem to have settled Manchester-ish. Far enough away to not be bothered by the city, close enough to commute if I have to.

I live in California, but I'm from Yorkshire.

There's a local shop where I can buy mushy peas or scones when necessary.

What about Yorkshire Tea? Please tell me you can get Yorkshire Tea and we don't need to send an urgent food parcel! /joke

I can get it, but Tetley is fairly common in grocery stores now, at normal prices, so I can make do with that!

Teesside-ish. Our counties got so messed up around here nobody is really quite sure which one anyone is in.

Oh yeah! I believe it's officially known as Tees Valley without actually being a valley?

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That too! Whoever is in charge is obviously mad.
