Robin Hood? A Yorkshireman? Ecky thump, 'e never wore a flat cap in his life, I've seen his picture, it were a pointed cap wi' a feather in it! Didn't 'ave a whippet either. Find your own robber!

I don't recall the Sheriff of Doncaster being mentioned in the legend either. Perhaps the Yorkshire Robin Hood and his merry men were flying pickets in the coal miners' strike?

BTW, isn't Sheffield / Doncaster a railway?

They should've called it S****horpe, it's closer than Sheffield or Nottingham - except the bad word filter won't let you say the middle bit..
