By eck. Be reyt. Stop ye mitherin’. Did I ‘eckers like? Aye Love. Happy Yorkshire Day 2017.
Now then, did thee need a translator? I do bloody love the Yorkshire Dialect.
I’ve lived in Yorkshire all my life but sometimes I even get stuck with a little bit of the twang. Especially when its 2 old blokes down t’pub and they have a real strong rural accent. But the majority of the time these phrases slip into everyday conversation without a second though. Don’t pronounce your H’s and lose ‘The’ and you’re pretty much there. (Hull become ‘ull and see if you can spot the missing ‘the’)
Without further a do here is a list of things I love about Yorkshire on this here Yorkshire Day.
1. Fish, chips and mushy peas*. Maybe a bread cake thrown in too.
2. How friendly people are. At the bus stop, strike up a convo about the bus been early or even better say ‘I bet 3 come at once’ or have a chat about the weather.
3. Yorkshire puddings (also rather controversially a yorkshire pudding with jam).
4. That you can find a pint for less than £3.
5. Scarborough. Well the East Coast in general.
6. Festivals that confuse anyone not from round these parts. That’ll be the Rhubarb Festival and the Liquorice Festival.
7. A teacake is different from a currant teacake – I will fight you if you say otherwise.
8. Bettys Afternoon Tea.
9. It’s not really grim up North.
10. Pork Pie, mushy peas* and mint sauce.
So there you have it. 10 things I love about Yorkshire.
*It would appear that mushy peas feature twice in this list at both number 1 and 10 this is not a mistake.
What do you love about Yorkshire? Or any strange loves for your local area that I should know about?
I love your mushy pea appreciation! I genuinely believe that nothing tops being from Yorkshire. Londoners might have their swanky bars but nothing compares to being able get smashed on £20.
YES!! Cant even get 2 drinks for 20 quid in London, I love the North!
Can’t deal with how good the fish and chips look in that photo, I’m now really hungry!! -Rachel xx

Fish and Chips are honestly the best thing. From the seaside they’re even better I think! x
I think its so cute that you have a Yorkshire day that you have blogged about! fish and chips are my ultimate favourite! I love the ‘how friendly people are one’ I don’t really have that where I live so it is nice that you get that!

Friendly people are a joy and curse all at the same time. Normally when I don’t want to talk to anyone, someone strikes up a convo! x
Ah I love this post! I’m so proud to be Yorkshire and it’s great to celebrate everything Yorkshire with this post! Thank you so much for sharing xx
I am fiercely Yorkshire, I sometimes don’t realise it until I come to write about it! Got to love the north lol! xx
Ah I miss Yorkshire so much after reading this! I love living in London but I’ll always be a Yorkshire girl
