WE are a family living in London who hope sometime in the very near future to be moving up to Yorkshire.

When we do it will be with great pride because we love it so much up there.

It really makes my blood boil when people down here make silly assumptions about up north 'Move North? Do me a favour!' James Slack, March 19).

It makes me wonder how many of these people have actually been there as everyone we know who has been to Yorkshire absolutely falls in love with the place.

Just ignore these cretins and hope they never get the chance to live up in Yorkshire - they don't deserve it!
