Though I'm not British I grew up in rural Ohio where you have a village or town within a mile of each other, kinda like how Huddersfield is not far from Holmfirth. It's the scenery as well as childhood memories of how the adults talked...

Good find, John. I like that it comes with a second, backup flat cap, dog, pint and cup of tea or coffee. Do they also have a YorkshireLady one as well? Be interesting what accessories she might have: brush, tin tray, fancy hat...

I'll say! A search of the average brick weight of 4.5 pounds (2kg) each would mean 185,000 bricks to be about 832,500 pounds or 376,000 kg or 416 tons! The LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard locomotive weighs in around 185 tons per the Wiki...
