Difference is Yorkshire accent = good, Lanc accent = bad.

Lol note I said 'on her behalf' And you're right about the Lancs, my bro goes to a Lancashire school and has now acquired the accent, I'm forever taking the pi$$!

Because we are sensible and have realised it is a waste of energy to fully pronounce the 'o', you gotta move the jaw more, why bother when you can get the point across better with a grunt

I love Scottish accents. Only been up there once but was going into shops just so I could hear people speak haha.

But it sounds sooooo wrong. A couple of years ago, just before Christmas, I was in Beverley and hearing the local Santa ringing his bell and shouting "Herrr Herrrr Herrrr" was quite possibly the funniest thing I'd ever heard. I swear, me and my mate doubled over laughing when he started. We had to go to the pub to calm down.

I got me self a Yorkshire flag today... Light blue with the white rose.

Looks coolio!

TBH MissYC I am confused with your accent as when you speak it doesn't sound quite Yorkshire...something else,,,,must be them bloody welsh trying to change you in yer sleep...lol
YC however is as Yorkshire pudd as welll Yorkshire pudd.
Me I've a defo Yorkshire accent, until i'm mixed with toffs in conversation then my mothers Surrey posh accent starts appearing from my mouth
Im Indoors' accent is sorta Yorkshire, but unfortunatly its been tainted by that fliipin posh private school he went to
The accent I really love is my grans..shes German and has been here for 60 yrs, for some reason when she speaks to strangers, they somehow seem to think shes from wales....can't get my head round that one, but she was talking to some policemen in my front garden one day, and they asked her where she came from, and thats where they thought she came from...wales?Germany????
