Been talking to someone from darn sarf and he reckons that Yorkshire folk stand out from everyone else and that we make a lasting impression on the people we meet. Why's that then?
</p> At work they all laugh because I tell it like it is, there's no messing about. Choose whether its a business thing or whether someone smells of poo.</p> I think thats a good Yorkshire trait!</p>
I agree, unfortunately my bosses don't. I've been hauled over the coals a time or two for being abrupt! Mind you, maybe my reply of 'I tell it as it is and if folk don't like it - tough!' probably doesn't help my case
because we are human.... in other words we see the world in Black and White and not many Grey areas... people elsewhere cannot fathom this...our honesty our bluntness our candour our humour....but they sure as hell respect it . I am Masssively proud to be Yorkshire and everywhere I have been I have never ever had a bother beig accepted, and it is manly because I AM YORKSHIRE. people elsewhere love us...and yes they do take the mick of whippets and pigeons and flat caps and outside lavs and whatever...bt I honestly think..nay kno that they know we are not as stone age as all that..they love the last of the summer wine image the James Herriot stuff Emerdale an all that ...and we are respected I do not care what anyone thinks. And whats more I AM YORKSHIRE and am proud of that....the humour that is Yorkshire has kept me sane and carried me through some bloody dark times and kept me going.I love the place the people and most of all TARN , its special... its not shangrila but God its special. and the folk too...salt of the Earth
Just about right that Marylin. I've traveled a fair bit in the uk, and always glad to get back to barnsley. WE are a lot friendlier then anywhere else. and nobody has taken the mic. They always now some one from tarn or close surrounding area ever noticed that.
Its not Yorkshire its.................. Barnsley We aint got much in Barnsley.............but what we do have is CHARACTER Other places like Leeds and Sheffield are all reight...........but when someone from TARN turns up you can see them sort of shrivel up and dee I've been to sheffield toneet....went in a boozer, everybody at bar were yak yak yak........I said "pint ur bitter".........conversation stopped, and then there were glances between um and yer cud here the fookers thinking........this b@astards from the hordes of hooligans and vandels that live just up north from us. Other basic characters in Yorkshire Wakefield - nutty Donny - stuck up misrable bleeders (different humour to us TYKES) Hudders - frightened York - confused Hull - chav central Rotherham folk are alreight generally
Home is where the heart is. And we are full of heart, honesty and humour. I've lived in London, Cornwall and elsewhere and still yearned to be back in Barnsley.
People who know. And they know with a certain cocky assuredness. Because they went to the University of Life.
That sounds nothing like me I have nothing to get cocky about and I went to the University of Nottingham .
RE: That sounds nothing like me I went to the University of Nottingham too. Blimey, they let anyone in, don't they?
We aren't special. The house of York had a melee with the house of Lancaster a long time ago and we're still dining off that. And I ca't remember who won either. Nothing makes me grimace more than a Look North/Calander presenter ask some poor sod what he/she thinks about Yorkshire. I wish they would say its **** just to stir things up.
