Yorkshire on Friday 28 June 2024
Then!
Yorkshire in history:
- 28 June 1727: Gentlemen at Barnsley wear cockades in their hats to celebrate the proclamation of George II (but why red and orange?)
- 28 June 1995: The real Siegfred Farnon calls it a day
Proverbially:
Dean’t o’ Friday buy your ring,
O’ Friday dean’t put t’ spurrins [banns] in;
Dean’t wed o’ Friday. Think on o’ this,
Nowther blue nor green mun match her driss.
(Moorman 1916)
