[QUOTE="drstrangelove, post: 2898039, member: 103506"] I really cannot understand this. There's a thread about names of uk inhabitants and nobody has yet referred to us Yorkshire folk. ITS ONLY THE BIGGEST BLOODY COUNTY IN THE UK. Sorry did I shout? Anyway us that reside in the fair county of Yorkshire (where do you think I got Yoksha from?) are generally referred to as Tykes (though those of us in North Yorkshire refer to them daft buggers in West Yorkshire as Wessies). Theres a saying in these parts "'Appen tha's two sorts a fowk in't wurld. Yoksha fowk an' 'em a' wishes thee wor." Translation "There are two types of people in the world, Yorkshire folk and those who wish they were Yorkshire folk." Its not arrogance.....its a fact. [/QUOTE]
