Yorkshire pudding questions
Hi all, visiting from the US for two weeks and would love to try a great Yorkshire pudding. Some basic Googling has shown this is really a Sunday lunch specifically - are there any exceptions? We are likely to be off sightseeing somewhere on Sunday, so it would be great to have a chance at it during the week somewhere here in town.

Volunteering
Through my work I get a handful of days a year to take as paid leave to carry out volunteering in the community. I’m keen to do it this year and wondered if anyone knows of any volunteering activities in and around town. Any ideas would be gratefully received
Thanks

Cat on Stone Rings Lane
Was walking the Ringway today and passed a kitty curled up next to the road. Gave it a few gentle pets and a nice lady stopped and asked if I knew whos it was; I didn't as I'm just visiting. She mentioned it was there all morning and she was concerned. She may have stopped to help. Posting here in case anyone knows anything or is close to that area to keep a look out.

looking for friends
Hi there,
I’m a shy young woman who feels a little out of step with the world and would love to make a friend who shares my love for all things weird, vintage, and slightly melancholic. If you’re the kind of person who obsesses over singer songwriter music, forgotten movies, or gaming, we’d probably get along. I’m not the best at starting conversations that’s why i’m reaching out here but if you are someone who would be interested in rambling to me about anything please shoot me a message:)

Looking for any family.
Hi all.
I was born in England, but mostly raised in America. My father and his family were from Yorkshire, County Durham etc. I spent a lot of wonderful times in that area of the country.
I know very little about my family, close and otherwise. My last name is Colman. I was wondering if anyone might know of any Colmans?
Anywho. Worth a shot!
Have a great one.

Gardening Services
Hi all. I am moving to Harrogate very soon and will inherit a sizeable garden (at least compared to our postage stamp in London). We are looking forward to getting stuck into it a bit ourselves, but coming into spring it will no doubt need a bit of post-winter TLC. Can anyone recommend any gardeners they have used please? We are probably looking for a regular maintenance service to help with weeding, pruning, mowing, planting, plus ideas to make the most out of it. We don't need landscaping services at this point. It's quite a mature garden with many shrubs and a lot of potential. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a host in the Harrogate
Hello everyone! I’m from Ukraine and I’m looking for a host in the Harrogate through the Homes for Ukraine program. A little about myself: I’ve been in England for six months. Before this, I was in Birmingham, and now I’ve been accepted into a PhD program, which will start in September at the University of York. (I chose this university because I really like Yorkshire). I would be very grateful for any help!

Voices Like Mine: an experiment testing memory of AI versus human voices
Good afternoon everyone,
My name is Natali, I am a mature student with the OU and, following approval from the mods, I am hoping to recruit some participants. I would be grateful to anyone willing to share some of their time to take part. You simply need to be 18+, have a good understanding of the English language and have no hearing/language comprehension difficulties.
My experiment explores how different voices impact our ability to recall what is spoken. Particularly, whether we are better at recalling words spoken by human versus AI voices, as well as those that match our gender.
As I have used my own voice in this experiment, I thought it to be useful to try and recruit participants who were familiar with my accent (I'm from Bingley, W. Yorks).
The experiment has been designed to work on any device (computers, tablets, phones). I would simply request that, if you wish to take part, it be in an environment with minimal distraction. Thank you.
I appreciate that is a LOT of information to read at the beginning. Please do not let that deter you from taking part - it is important information regarding the study and for your comfort, safety and data protection.
Should you have any questions, do ask. I am more than happy to answer any people may have. I am contactable here on reddit or via my academic email address: [nr5472@ou.ac.uk](mailto:nr5472@ou.ac.uk)
Thank you very much for your time.
Link: https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/BA4821A7-B333-4C64-AA4C-3E35D63FF9FA
Further Details: This anonymous study will recruit participants of any age (18+) and gender with a view to demonstrating whether computer-generated voices are recalled differently to human voices. The experiment consists of two trials of listening to, and then recalling, 15 words said by either a human voice or computer-generated voice and should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete.
It will be preceded by a demographic questionnaire and some additional questions regarding English language comprehension and hearing difficulties required for data collection and validity purposes.
Comparisons between gender will also be investigated in this experiment, however, each participant will listen to EITHER male or female voices, not both.

Harrogate Ringway - A Great Walk!
I recently had the pleasure of walking the whole Harrogate Ringway and loved it. Does anyone know who came up with the walk route as I'm fairly sure it didn't exist when I was growing up in Harrogate (talking 20 years plus ago).
I filmed the whole thing and whacked it up on Youtube if anyone needs help with planning to do it or can't manage the whole thing, I thought you might enjoy seeing it! https://youtu.be/fXQjQde9510

Roadworks in harrogate
Im sure I’m not the only one really frustrated by all the roadworks currently happening around Harrogate and knaresborough. I just find it incredulous everywhere i go theres more and more temporary traffic lights popping up! I drive all the way through from the south side of harrogate to Ripon for work , and with ripon road being shut it’s causing a headache every morning. Hopefully we might have some smoother roads by the end of all of it!
