Yorkshire tea will be optional. </p> <p>Self-styled professional Yorkshiremen including Geoff Boycott, Dickie Bird and Michael Parkinson will be appointed team coaches. </p> <p>Track sessions will take place on the foothills around Holmsfirth, the setting for Last of the Summer Wine and Goathland, the backdrop for Heartbeat. </p> <p>Sportsmen will be required to wear Jimmy Saville-style track suits with optional flat caps. </p> <p>Whippet racing and pigeon fancying have been lobbied for as new Olympic sports, with a strong showing expected for Team GB, if the recommendation is accepted. </p> <p>However, the whole initiative has been opposed by the People’s Republic of South Yorkshire. Their spokesperson, a Mr A Scargill has lobbied for Yorkshire to break away from the rest of Britain and compete in the Olympics in its own right. </p>
