'Why it was manoeuvring at low level over West Yorkshire was a mystery,'

 

Doubt the firm will be happy with this publicity for their range....

'I'm not a "flying-saucer", or "alien visitation" freak, but whatever it was deserves the term UFO.' Mr Tunnah, originally from Scotland, then showed the perplexing snap to some of his friends 'just out of interest'. 'They all tended to agree that it was "real", "solid" and appeared to be travelling at speed from the dissipating "arch" on the horizon,' he said.

Well, there goes Yorkshire folk's legendary reputation for hard-headed down to earth common sense!

Ah, This Must Be The 'Enrichment' We Are Always Promised...

Police have released images of 22 men they want to trace after a large-scale fight in Sheffield. The disorder took place on Woodbourn Road on 25 May last year, South Yorkshire Police said.

Last year? Why has it taken so long to put out the appeal?  

Oh. I think I can guess. I'm assuming it wasn't a disagreement over the finer points of building dry stone walls?

A force spokesperson said officers believed it involved two groups from the Eritrean community, with one faction supportive of Eritrean independence and the other in opposition.

Lovely! Just what we need to spice up our boring old Yorkshire towns, internecine conflict imported from foreign countries! That'll please the Yorkshire Tourist Board!  

According to police, the group opposing independence travelled into the area to target an Eritrean Independence Day celebration taking place at the Pakistan Muslim Centre. A group of about 200 people gathered at the location, where violence involving weapons erupted both inside and outside the centre and on the surrounding streets. The centre was damaged along with vehicles parked nearby.

Perhaps this will wake up a few people to the vipers we've nestled in our bosom?
