:rofl: Do a Google search for "Yorkshire, Gods own Country"

God's own country -
http://www.great-britain.co.uk/yorkshire.htm
http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/200....unitedkingdom

However, the earliest recorded use was the title of a poem, "Gods own Country", about New Zealand, written by Thomas Bracken in the 1880s.

I thought one of the Legions codes was that you were supposed to be modest at all times......

Hell yes.

To all the people who replied no, why are you still here?

Because I would struggle to get as good a job in the UK as I have here, there not being many cyclones over there :sneaky: and having spent every penny I had trying to build myself a lifestyle over here (and failing miserably) I now can't afford to go back. I do try hard these days not to whinge about it though, I think I've fallen into a sort of dull acceptance of the place.

They don't tend to moan about much, just keep telling you how much better Australia is than anywhere else....

Of course it worth it! A resounding YES from me.

Anyone who says 'no' just hasn't tried hard enough in my book!

I would say that's on top of the moaning and getting into fights in Walkabout bars.

I always found hardly any Aussies in the Walkabout near Embankment, was just full of drunk Poms trying to pick up drunk Aussie girls, probably explains why I was there. Shephard's Bush was another ballgame altogether though....
