Yorkshire
God was bored and went missing for six days. The Archangel Gabriel found him resting on the seventh day. "What have You been up to?" he said. "I've created the planet Earth and it will be a place of great balance." "Balance?" said Gabriel. God explained. North America would be wealthy and South America would be poor. "Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there a continent of black people." God talked of different countries. "That one will be hot and that one will be covered with ice." Gabriel was impressed and pointed to an area in England and said: "What's that?" "Ah," said God. "That is Yorkshire, the most glorious place on Earth. There will be beautiful lakes, streams, rivers and hills, great music, architecture, and sporting giants. The people from Yorkshire will be modest, intelligent and witty. They will be sociable, hard working and high achievers. They will be known throughout the world as diplomats and peace-makers." Gabriel gasped in admiration, thought for a moment, and said: "But what about balance, God? You said there will be balance." "Ah," said God, nodding sagely, "let me tell you about Lancashire..."

"I've created the planet Earth and it will be a place of great balance."

"Balance?" said Gabriel.

God explained.

North America would be wealthy and South America would be poor. "Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there a continent of black people."

The Irish Famine
History records the potato blight (1845-7) that had destroyed the crop was instrumental in the widespread starvation of Irish peasantry. Due to starvation and emigration (to Britain and the USA), the population of Ireland fell by almost 25 per cent between 1845 and 1851 - I know the Irish have a reputation for the strong drink but, that's a lot of people falling in six minutes. The British Government was widely blamed by the emigrants for the scale of the disaster. Instead of potato blight destroying the crop they may just have forgotten where they planted the potatoes.
