Happy Yorkshire Day Everyone !

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have a daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren in Yorkshire. What a beautiful county it is. I will be there again in a few weeks time and can't wait. Happy Yorkshire Day to the lovely people who are lucky enough to live there. X

I’m pretty sure it’s God’s own country, not county. I’m North Yorkshire born and bred. We’ve got the flag out today!

You’re right, it is Country not County.

Apologies, thought I’d typed Country

Looks like we're both wrong LizzieDrip - I actually put County in my OP 😂. Another one from the South here too

Happy Yorkshire Day!

I’m the youngest of 5. Parents and siblings all born in North Yorkshire but had moved south before I was born. I’ve never forgiven them!!

Yorkshire is close to perfection as it’s next to Lancashire!

Happy Yorkshire Day
