I come from Yorkshire, an area of northern England renowned for being bloody-
minded and proud.
Others call people from Yorkshire dumb and opinionated.
So it should surprise you that I am so mild-mannered ...
I found an interesting ethnic study on the internet which essentially says
that Yorkshire is the least ethnically diverse in mainland Britain.
www.sciencedirect.com/science - type in "A Y Chromosome Census of the
British Isles" and read the conclusions.
It also says the Basques are closely related to the Irish - that explains a
lot.
Any regional tensions of note in any countries you know? Poland or elsewhere?
