Surely your columnist Robin Martin Jenkins could have done better than sneer at "cloth-capped Yorkies" (The Argus, May 20)?

A favourite dish in the West Riding is tripe and, luckily, Sussex brought their own with them.

I didn't know it was so popular with the readers of The Argus, who, as we are all aware, are southern softies and devious, if not down-right crooked.

As the son of a distinguished cricket correspondent, RMJ should know better and I look forward to reading his apology in your pages.

If not, I remind him of another Yorkshire trait; long memories.
