Not a bad joke but there were only 3 Ridings: North, West and East. I believe, in the olden days, Yorkshire folk couldn't comprehend there being such a thing as South.

Doesn't the word Riding mean a third, or something like that? But a good gag nonetheless.

Reminds me of the 'blind summit' roadsigns you see occasionally. 'there's something up ahead, we have no idea what it is but don't worry, it won't see you.'

They were North, West, East and The People's Republic of Sheffield.

I'm never surprised to learn that Londoners give up travelling when they reach Watford.

It's good to see the "I'm an ignorant twat and I'm proud of it" attitude is alive and well on NB.

Yes, I was wrong...historically there were three. However, being born and bred in Derbyshire it always seemed like there were more.
