Just curious how spread out we are. I’m up in West Yorkshire myself.

I’m up in Wigan - always feels like on the internet everyone is in London or down south!

Haha to be honest I actually quite like it, the cost of living is low, I can get to everything I need by walking/cycling/bus/train (don’t drive by choice), so I can’t really complain!

I also lived in York for a little bit and that was really nice, albeit somewhat expensive, so I had to move back.

York is an absolutely lovely place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Too crowded for me.

Image transcription: A mock-up of the Google search engine. The user has searched for “East Yorkshire”. The site responds “Did you mean: East Riding of Yorkshire?”

Teesside-ish. Our counties got so messed up around here nobody is really quite sure which one anyone is in.

Oh yeah! I believe it’s officially known as Tees Valley without actually being a valley?
