Inspired by the Philharmonia of the Nations, I suggest that we declare a truce in the War of the Roses, and I offer this, er, olive branch to the Red Rose Commanders, Goldfinch and YAP, on behalf of the White Rose Commanders, Skylark and Fsharpminor (hope that's OK with you pardner

)

And as a token of peace, I suggest we exchange niceties about each other's county

I'll start with ...

You've got the Bridgewater Hall, the most beautiful and atmospheric concert hall

As second in command to Skylark, how about a delicious black pudding as a good thing from Lancs.

"Peace" is all very well, but just remember white roses that if we extol everything Yorkshire and do not compromise then we have not melted and instead are "Iceberg" (s) IPB Image

I thought your post on the "War" thread meant that you were on the Yorkshire side, but now I'm thoroughly confused

If you're still on the Yorkshire side, you should be extolling Lancashire on this thread! Have you switched sides???

I'm most definately on the Yorkshire Side! I just wanted an excuse to post a picture of a nice white rose... that is before declaring a taste for Morecambe bay shrimps!

Thanks to those enlightened Lancastrians, I've got a co-op in my village, and very useful it is too.
