Happy Yorkshire Day Everyone !

Ere’s one fur all t’ Tykes (soz it’s a bit long):

You know you are frum Barnsley if...
At least 50% of your family used to work darn t'pit.
You can make perfect sense out of the phrase "Asthagorowttegeeus?"
You have ever gotten frostbite and sunburn in the same week.
You identify a Sheffield accent as 'Southern'.
You know what twocking is (Taking Without Owner's Consent).
'Snap' is summat you eat.
You know that a 'bag of spice' is summat kids eat.
'Summat to eight' is a meal, not the time of the day.
You know that 'Jump' is a real place.
You know that it's pronounced Dod'eth and Cud'eth rather than Dodworth and Cudworth, whilst Wentworth is what it sez on t'tin (and is proper posh).
You know that the biggest news in 1912 was that Barnsley won the FA Cup (rather than the Titanic sinking, Captain Scott's Antarctic team's bodies being found or the start of Blackpool Illuminations).
You have one word that means "Hello!", "How are you?", "What's this?", "Hang on a minute!" and "Bloody 'ell!" (Eyup!)
You know someone who was in the film 'Kes'.
You are unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
You refer to the Tykes as 'WE'.
You have gone to Jump to specifically queue up round the block for a Percy Turner's pork pie.
You've seen Kipper Jackson singing with his karaoke machine inside one of Tarn's three Greggs.
You know that the phrase "Oo war shi wi?" isn't Chinese.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

North Yorkshire resident here 👌

Re:- "Asthagorowttegeeus" Does it translate into southern English as Have you got anything to give me/us?

If I have this anywhere near right it is a miracle as I am a bloooddy southerner.

Anyway happy Yorkshire day. I have ventured there several times and it is a wonderful place.

You can make perfect sense out of the phrase "Asthagorowttegeeus?". I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that🤣! The rest of your list is spot on!

I'd also add to the list that Penistone is pronounced PennySten - the former gives rise to lots of giggles elsewhere in the country 😁😁

OMG Magenta8, you’d better trace your family history … you’re a bluddy Tyke🤣

I have worked it out from reading "The Secret Garden". The characters Matha and Dickon Sowerby say a lot of stuff like that.

👍

Parents working in London when I was born but moved back to Yorkshire when I was 2. I generally keep quiet about not being born in Yorkshire, although it could explain why I dislike Yorkshire tea!

I was born in Yorkshire but only managed to stay there for three weeks before I was taken back to London by my mother.

I have managed a couple of lovely holidays there though.

Gud int it🤣

I am proud to consider myself an honorary bluddy Tyke on this special day.

Same for me Magenta I was born in the Midlands but moved here in 1985 so have lived here longer than my home county.

Glad that my Ds and grandchildren were born here too.

Is it somewhere north of Watford?

I would have sent this to my brother in Yorkshire, but he is an offcumdun.

My son-in-law is a Yorkshire lad through and through - born in York on 1st August so it’s his birthday today!

We love Yorkshire, have visited many times over the past 30+ years and will be staying there again later this month.

Here's to all fellow Yorkies from God's Own County 😂

Everyone goes out and flings re-inforced Yorkshire Puddings at each other in celebration.

I live in Lancashire......

My favourite counties mainly North Yorks and Harrogate ,

They wouldn’t have to reinforce my Yorkshire puddings, Windmill🤣!

In which case you’d have to throw HotPot ( painful)😁 if still in the pot.

I’ve often wanted to visit the Yorkshire Dales, due to the Herriot books.
