Advantages: Lots of contrast, Plenty of attractions and history
Disadvantages: Quite Industrial in areas

...It is over a year since I suggested "South Yorkshire in General" as a product for Ciao, but despite it being added to the Product index quickly I have not, until now, been able to bring myself to the task of writing the review I originally intended. Since no one else has taken up the challenge it would appear that it is still down to me to complete this review, and hopefully, do justice the County of my birth, where I was born and bred, and where I still live. I have written so many individual reviews on places within the County of South Yorkshire that I felt that it would be hard to compose such a general account or not duplicate some of the things that I have written about previously. It is therefore my intention to take a slightly different approach. South Yorkshire covers an area of 1,552 Square Kilometres making it the 38... Read review

Advantages: Yorkshire Gold is the Best
Disadvantages: overpriced

...Yorkshire tea for Yorkshire water, that is what they used to say on the advert, for Yorkshire folk, as well I think.

It is disappointingly flat and un refreshing... Read review

Disadvantages: Aftertaste, but no worse than with other teas.

...I recently received a free sample of Yorkshire tea through the post. There were 6 tea bags in the pack with the usual Yorkshire Tea livery some of us are familiar with. But are we familiar with it? I for one have never tried it, although I have often seen it on the supermarket shelves. I have had two cups so far, so here goes with the low down:- This tea brews extremely quickly. I always go for ippy dippy tea. You know, teabag in the mug, boiling water on top, smoosh it around a bit and then squeeze the bag against the side of the cup. Out it then comes and into the bin! I know I am not the only one; there are more of you out there!! The first thing I noticed about this tea is that the water turned brown extremely quickly. I was in a rush, as I usually am first thing in the morning, and absolutely dying for a cuppa. I... Read review
