Yorkshire folk are big enough to be able to laugh at ourselves. This is a sketch created by the English comedian Harry Enfield. It was made as far back as 1992. Hell, that's almost thirty years ago. Enjoy:-

ReplyDeleteDoes that mean "No Comment"?
DeletePretty much. Yes.
DeleteYour readers might not realise that Yorkshire is a large county with a variety of temperaments, and that the video is most representative of people from Sheffield. Those from further north are a little more urbane as this different video illustrates: https://youtu.be/6VLYpKGVBUg
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Yes I laughed at that video too... I would like to do similar videos about The Home Counties. Are you up for playing Jason Rees-Mogg?
DeleteActually, I am Jacob Rees-Mogg.
DeleteGareth Hale (Captain Boycott) "If it i'n't in Yorkshire it's not wo'th bloody going to" is from Hull.
DeleteActually Jacob, I thought that Gareth had a sophisticated air about him.
DeleteFather O'Flynn in Bradford was sad because attendance at church had slumped while the mosque across the road was always packed out with male worshippers.
ReplyDeleteSo the worried priest thought he'd asked the imam for spiritual advice, and invited him in for a cup of tea.
Father O'Flynn: We still get a few ladies in for Mass, but the men stay away.

Brighton had first choice.

Two contrasting paragraphs.
DeleteDon't talk to me about sophistication. I've been to Leeds. Haha
ReplyDeletePleased and a bit surprised you got that one Andrew.
Deletehaha! If he'd open his mouth a bit wider he could fit two feet in
ReplyDeleteGlad this tickled you Kylie!
DeleteI like the Yorkshire Airlines sketch. It was light years ahead of Ryanair. Harry Enfield is a comic genius.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to him? He seems to have drifted away.
DeleteWell YP, I should imagine that the video (hilarious and politically incorrect though it is) is probably totally incomprehensible to the majority of your followers outside Sheffield!
ReplyDelete'eeh bah gum, lad, Google translate isn't any use either!
I must say, I do wonder what North American visitors might make of it.
DeleteWe have a Yorkshireman living nearby, and guess what; he has two Whippets.
