    My result...

    By eck, you’re very Yorkshire. Either you’re from there or you’ve lived there for a fair few years. And with all that lovely countryside and brilliant food, you can’t imagine why anyone would want to live anywhere else

    Seen this before and also elsewhere - but has anyone ever come across someone saying "who" instead of "what"? - Never heard of that. Is it someone who misheard "wha?" or "uh?"

    Question 4 - 'duck' isn't really a Yorkshire term of endearment, it's far more common elsewhere.

    Question 11 That's a ginnel not a snicket. It could be an alley or 'darn backs', but a snicket is between hedges or trees not buildings.

    Question 13 That's more like a ginel.

    Question 18 No one in Yorkshire shortens 'the' to 't'. We miss out 'the' altogether, or imply it but don't actually say it. We shorten 'to the' to 't'.

    I like how "going to Betty's" is one of the questions to deem how Yorkshire you are. A tourist trap with overpriced tea and cake - would have thought not going qualified you more as a Yorkshireman!

    Agree with Jay's points about ginel, snicket and the 't' question.

    And why wasn't "have you been to Barnsley?" a question?

    I'm with you on question 18. It gets right on my tits when people do the t' thing. I saw a Michael Mcintyre routine on Yorkshire speak which was performed somewhere in Yorkshire (might have been Leeds). He did a lazy predictable routine about Yorkshire people saying t' instead of "the" and the audience were p1ssing themselves laughing even though a) everyone there knew it wasn't how they spoke and b) it wasn't remotely funny anyway. The floppy haired tw*t.

    Not to mention 35. Paid less than a fiver for a pint.
    I dont pay that down here in Surrey so how does that make you more Yorkshire - I cant think of any proper pubs even in London that charge over £5 for a pint (lots of trendy bars do but you can do that in Yorkshire as well)

    Still have to laugh 61/80

    bit sad that I live in Surrey - must admit I'd still prefer to live in Yorkshire though

    Much quicker way to find out how Yorkshire you are:

    Were you born in Yorkshire? Yes / No

    If No, then you aren't Yorkshire.

    16/80 - damn those football towns!!! And doesn't"t everyone feel superior to someone from Lancashire :D

    Verdict:
    You’re not very Yorkshire at all. Are you sure you’ve been to Yorkshire? Do you even know where Yorkshire is? Sure, you may not have the accent, but don’t snub Yorkshire entirely - you’ll miss out on all the great food. What are you waiting for? Book a train ticket and get yourself up north.Via en.wikipedia.org
