As Yorkshire Day monopolises attention, denizens of Lincolnshire are keen to express their views on the congenial competition between the two regions. As Yorkshire lauds its legacy, many from Lincolnshire, affectionately known as ‘Yellowbellies’, articulate their own case for what characterises their county. Locals like Sarah Patrick from Gainsborough extol the idyllic charm of Whitby, but their devotion remains firmly with Skegness, their hometown favourite. Torksey’s Peter Bradley wittily argues that Yorkshire’s most commendable feature is its closeness to Lincolnshire, underlining the potent regional pride. Concurrently, the 1st October recognises Lincolnshire’s own annual festivity, pledging to demonstrate its distinctive treasures — from breathtaking beaches to flavoursome regional produce, inclusive of the renowned Lincolnshire cheese. Amidst the playful jesting, it’s undeniable that both counties lay claim to their residents’ affection.
