Seems to have been a lot of tv series about Yorkshire in recent times .
The "Educating Yorkshire" one returns soon.
Reminds me of a passage I read recently in a book about the Development and growth of Public Health in Victorian England. The first National Congress was held in London for the Sanitary Inspectors, where they were to discuss the problems and solutions of the various cities. The Chairman said that while things were generally slowly improving in most places, some were still desperate. He quoted Bradford being worst as an example.
A man in the congregation stood up and said( in a broad Yorkshire accent) " I'm not having that about Bradford , have thee not been to Barnsley?"
Made me laugh, anyway.

It's a pity Leeds United is in Yorkshire and there is a Yorkshire County Cricket Club - they ruin what could be a top notch county.

Indeed lid. Fantastic countryside with the dales (which also has 26 mountains), moors and coast, great cities like York, top aways (Sheffield), loads of castles and abbeys etc to visit and loads of ace small villages and market towns which make for boss weekends away.

Just need to get rid of those two fuckers...

A pedantic point from someone born near Bradford: he would have said 'as tha not been to Barnsley?

or even 'as ta not been to Barnsley?

A good point well made.
I must admit, my lack of knowledge of 19th century Yorkshire dialect has often cost us the prize at the pub quiz nights here in Liverpool.

Re: Yorkshire

We often discuss the old-form, second person accusative v nominative cases over here - we have right laugh.
