#EYorksHour | 4th March | Roundup

Apologies that this hasn't been posted sooner, we've been experiencing internet problems!
...

On Tuesday we celebrated Pancake Day over on #EYorksHour and after a previous few weeks of recommending others, sharing tips and offering advice; we thought we would encourage networkers to indulge in self promotion mixed with tasty topping fun! @EYorksHour HQ set participants the challenge of describing which #Pancaketopping they were most like, either personally or in business, and why. 

The task of conjuring up analogies to sound as appealing as the toppings themselves was indeed a challenge but our #EYorksHour networkers took it in their stride, and below are some of the best.

Toppings:

@HumBridgeNews : If #humberbridge was a #pancaketopping it would be chocolate. Then you'd have a dish that SPANS both sweet and savoury. #EYorksHour

@AbstractEM : We would be a #banana #pancaketopping - We're high in energy, our help will boost your mood & services available all year round  #EYorksHour

@beerinabottle :We would have to be mix of Chocolate/icecream/lemon & sugar/Golden Syrup #pancaketopping #EYorkshour . We will have something for everyone!

@Murrayhills : @EYorksHour #pancaketopping #eyorksHour think we would be lemon&Sugar,traditional yet yummy,efficiently gets job done with sweet after taste

@S_Fleming12 : @EYorksHour I'd have to be something creative, colourful and yummy - chocolate spread with strawberries and sprinkles! #eyorkshour

@RPMSLetting : We would be strawberries & ice cream with a drizzle of golden syrup. A team approach; vivid, fruitful and with a cool balance.

@ManarInfo :Lemon and sugar...Advice for some businesses bitter to take but sweet because I can offer solutions :)) #EYorksHour #pancaketopping

@360accountants :@EYorksHour Our perfect #pancaketopping would be lemon, banana & butter - VAT free and delicious

@Hullvoicebox :Hello #EYorksHour our topping has got to be crushed up love heart sweets, retro, fizzy and each one tells a story. 

Highlights:

During #EYorksHour there were a couple of interesting video’s shared that we just know you will love to watch! The first came from @HumBridgeNews  and was a short documentary called Building Sights, which first transmitted in 1996 and features Simon Armitage finding inspiration on the Humber Bridge. The second is @Art_LBroadbent talking about her art and inspirations in a new promotional video. Click on the images below to watch.

Pancake Topping

Quality suppliers was our topic of conversation for #EYorksHour last week and we collated a list of tips and advice suggested by our networkers in the weekly round up too. If you didn’t tune in or have not had chance to read the round up, then please follow this link: http://eyorkshour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/eyorkshour-26th-feb-roundup.html - We also had some brilliant local highlights and an important fact that is sure to put a smile on your face! 

In the previous six weeks we’ve concentrated on recommending others, providing tips and offering business advice so this week #EYorksHour will focus on you, yes you reading this! 

As you probably know, today is Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) and it marks the last day before Lent, traditionally a period of abstinence, associated with clearing your cupboards of goods such as sugar, fats and eggs. It’s commonly known as Pancake Day because it represents a good opportunity to use such ingredients ahead of the fasting period. 

So, imagine that we’ve got these key ingredients in a pan and we’re cooking away but all that’s left to do, is add a topping - yet you don’t know which to choose.. This can be what it’s like when you have a business need and don’t know which company to go with. For instance you might have all the foundations in place to launch your new business but need a website developing and don’t know who to choose. Perhaps a bit of self promotion this evening and some creative descriptions might just spark up interest from others who are looking to add your topping onto their pancake!  

Therefore, tonight please join in by telling us which topping you or your business is most like and why! It will be great to read each others analogies and if you’re not so good at talking about yourself, then our pancake theme will be a flipping good start! 

Please use the hashtags #EYorksHour and #PancakeTopping in your tweets to be included in the conversations. If you're new, don't worry you can learn more about East Yorkshire Hour here! 

Here is an example: 

“@EYorksHour is like honey, the first layer before the toppings meet #pancaketopping #EYorksHour”

Enjoy your pancakes and synchronise your watches to start tweeting at 8pm! 

For all your #EYorksHour questions, please tweet @EYorksHour. 

Tweet you later! 

P.s let us know that you're joining in tonight by sharing the #EYorksHour theme image below:
