A BRADFORD-BASED company carried out a survey and found out that the best thing about Yorkshire is its people.

Headway Recruitment, Shipley, asked people Why We Love Yorkshire and found that 23 per cent of those who responded said the locals were the reason.

The rolling Yorkshire Dales came second with 21 per cent, with real ale third at 15 per cent.

The top ten was completed by the Yorkshire pudding, breathtaking views, tea, Bettys tea rooms, sports, the accent and the good sense of humour.

Mark Gill, managing director at Headway Recruitment, said: “The results don’t surprise us, we work with the people of Yorkshire on a daily basis and they are friendly, honest and professional and they truly embody the spirit of Yorkshire.”
