HeadingNorth Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What utter twaddle, you can be guilty of "not doing one one single thing towards the county's illustrious record," but still be proud of your heritage By definition, you cannot. Your heritage is no achievement at all; you didn't choose where you were going to be born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkertelecoms Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I speak extremely broad Yorkshire, I'm amazed I don't type it. My dad was from Barnsley and I have a few friends over there, they're accent is almost unintelligible. I notice my own accent more if I'm in conversation with someone of, let's say, the queens english, because of the way they look at me when I let rip lol, which is usually when I'm really rollin.

upinwath Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I don't think I am, despite loving living in Yorkshire (Sheffield) and being born here, with a proud working class background and accent. I'm a Yorkshire lad. I was born in the Rotherham area but identify more with Barnsley. I have a copy of the Yorkshire anthem, eat chips and own a flat 'at. I teach all my students to greet me with, "Ey up mucka". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Maybe we are now so diluted by the influx of "foreigners" that some of us are starting to lose our identity, especialy in Cities who bear the brunt of our mass immigration policy during the Liebour tenure of Downing street. Yawn...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 When I speak, it's without any discernible accent. However, if I'm ever recorded, the playback always seems to have a strong Yorkshire accent. I blame it on cheap recording equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerrific Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I dislike Yorkshire everything - Black/Yorkshire puddings, hilly countryside, Ilkley Moor songs, Plusnet adverts (that never mention Sheffield), flat caps, whippets, pigeons, BRASS BANDS. "Good, honest Yorkshire"? No way, there's plenty of dishonest, two-faced gits in Yorkshire, as with every other county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago i tried to order a round of drinks in the "king mark of cornwall" newquey, after asking three times and getting a blank look the barmaid said to my girlfriend "is he foreign" my girlfriend replied "yes love he's from sheffield".

curriechick Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 How can some one not be proud of gods own county. I agree with you Grandad Malky and those that don't are just being Mardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
