Ok this has nothing to do with computers. Linux, technology but it’s a very special day.
Happy Yorkshire day
And if you want to sing along

We just need rain, snow, fog, freezing temperatures for a typical Yorkshire summers day.
Any negative comments I will put down to being jealous of not having the same origins as me.
ECKY THUMP?
My missus is of Yorkshire extraction (she was born in Wiltshire, but her parents and grandparents and cousins all lived in Yorkshire - nearly all coal miners, or their wives / daughters).
And despite living in Australia most of her life (she emigrated as a two year old “ten pound pom” with her parents and older siblings), she still pronounces bury as “burrie” not “berry”.
Love Bill Oddie…
I also love Michael Palin’s Yorkshire stuff he did for Ripping Yarns (The Testing of Eric Oldthwaite [“our ma’s black pudding were so black, even the white bits were black”] and “Golden Gordon”)…
Got to 23 (celsius) here in the eastern suburbs (foothills) of Perth - and it’s still kinda/sorta “midwinter” - beautiful day - just got back from a joyride on my e-scooter… Back to 17 tomorrow, and rain…
You can take a child out of Yorkshire but you can’t take Yorkshire out of a child
Bet she knows how to say bath correctly and can make Yorkshire puddings
Just now sat in the sun after my morning swim, drinking Yorkshire tea in my Yorkshire cup but with french water and the wine taste funny in tea.
My cousin’s were 10 pound pommes but we’re not suitable and we’re asked to leave before they were ejected.
My grandparents (fathers family) came from Shropshire and Newcastle on Tyne.
Not quite Yorkshire, but either side of it, so can I celebrate too?
Happy to share so yes you are very welcome to enjoy, the more the merrier.
Sadly, like my wife you can never be a Yorkshire man, takes around 13 generations before you can proudly say “Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred”
“You can always tell a Yorkshire man, but you cannot tell him a lot!”
Ha ha ha
Happy Yorkshire day @nevj
Enjoy the summers 
Provides a bit of cheer. Its mid-winter here in Australia.
Ah! I forgot that weather in the southern hemisphere is the opposite 
It’s the most important day in the year !
Once again ….
Enjoy!
Yeah - midwinter - got to 19C yesterday and forecast is for 21C today (I’m just about to pack some beers in a small esky with icepacks and go for a spin by the Swan River - probably the beer wouldn’t get too warm for a Pommie, but warm beer is anathema to Aussies, Kiwis and Seppos - it should always be just above freezing)… Blue skies all around… Probably like summer in Yorkshire 
… Was FREEZING here the other day - I it maxed at 13 degrees (celsius) - and it was bucketing down rain last weekend and most of last week…
i.e. blue skies maybe in some parts of Yorkshire, but not Densley More where it “were always raining, when it weren’t overcast” (according to Eric Oldthwaite - that’s a good Scandinavian surname! Yorkshire was pretty much all part of “The Danelaw” and York [aka Jorvik] their capital).
Have you got your flags?
I am celebreating “Fröhlicher Schweizer Nationaltag” instead

Happy Switzerland day. Sorry I forgot.
We used to celebrate in our village as we had many from your fine country, sadly over the years the numbers have reduced and those left don’t appear interested in helping us organise things.
Our national day (Australia Day) is controversial.
Its date ( 26 Jan) marks the date of British colonization. That is not seen as appropriate by our indigenous Australians, or by recent migrants.
The whole thing has to be reworked and put into a framework that embraces the diverse origins of modern Australians.
What, you celebrate it over in Yorkshire? That’s new to me!
That’s nice! I remember, once, in History at school, we did the Australian one, it sounds very emotional.
The only thing that seems to unite Australians is our military day ( ANZAC Day). That is 25 April.
It is strange that we come together to commemorate war service, but we cant find a way to come together to commemorate founding of our Nation.?

That’s new to me

If you stick around here long enough you discover so many interesting things, you may never know why or how you will use them but learning is great especially between like minded people from different parts of the world with different backgrounds.
Yorkshire day is quite new, perhaps only celebrated in small ways in different parts. We did try for independence and the 3 who voted though it was a great idea….. plus we did have some great leaders at that time.
Now think it’s mainly expats like me who never really left.
