I think that the Yorkshire accent was somewhat frowned upon by some people from further south because it was very 'working class'. It might be a bit of fun to put some Yorkshire phrases on here with their equivalent English meaning.
'Ee by gum yo lot, thars in for a reet treat'.
'I say there you people, you are in for a good time'.

I sat on a bench in York outside some shops waiting for my family to come back. A group of Yorkshire lads came by who's talk was being peppered with Thee's Tha's and Tha Knows .. as they split up they proved they must have been fans of Eastenders. They parted with a chorus of "see you lay ahh! :confused2:

I had Derbyshire relatives as well as Yorkshire ones. The occasional "ew sez" (she/he says)threw me at first !

Good morning to you Albert, will you be going to the Black Swan this afternoon?
No William, my good lady has asked me if I would please clean the windows.
Oh I say, bad news old chap, I was so looking forward to indulging in a game of cards with you.
Maybe tomorrow. Goodbye my friend.
