If the brewery advert was to be believed then the farmers heading to the Harrogate showground on July 14,15 and 16 - and missing Chapel!

It was of course a mistake and one they were trying to hard to smile about down at Tetleys in Hunslet.

The Show that year was actually being held on July 9, 10 and 11.

"As one of the biggest supporters of the Great Yorkshire Show the last thing we want to do is advertise the wrong dates. We'll put it right as quickly as possible."
