A special SAGE meeting has been held today to discuss the Yorkshire variant.

@ThreeLocusts

Fascinating thread. Can someone explain the 'bah gum' pun? I'm not a native speaker.
@ThreeLocusts Eeh bah gum is an old Yorkshire exclamation phrase. So the comment saying the variant would be administered "bah gum" was just a play on that Smile

@x2boys

Obviously if Lancashire get their own varient ,it will be bigger and better than Yorkshire's 😂
Nope, they'll just THINK it's better than Yorkshire's Grin

This thread is absolutely brilliant and has cheered me up after a really shitty day. Who else read the first few pages in a strong Yorkshire accent in their head? Grin

@j712adrian

Ah, the Yorkshire Variant which causes a sticky feeling in the pocket, thus making the extraction of your purse/wallet from it virtually impossible.

Tragic.

Yes and it is disproportionately infecting men causing them to shout out “ow much” in a loud voice. There’s nothing as tight as a Yorkshire man!

@lightand

No idea why a Yorkshire variant seems like a joke[I am sure it isnt] when a Kent variant seemed quite reasonable.
Because it's the old joke, innit. Watch Lancashire bring out one now lol Grin

Happen your reet... 'Welcome to York where the chocolates chunky and the Covid's flunky'
everythingthelighttouches · 21/05/2021 22:37

Finally! A no-nonsense, speak-as-you-mean variant.

Not like those soft, southern variants!

Againstmachine · 21/05/2021 22:26

The whippets are running riot on the m62 what can you do.

emmathedilemma · 21/05/2021 22:11

Why has the government not closed the M62 westbound yet? It’s outrageous. The lack of border control in this country is shocking.

“ Does MNHQ still put threads in Classics. May I put in the first Nomination for this thread”

It’s got to be the first time a coronavirus board thread has ever been nominated for classics, they normally end in tears and recriminations Grin

cashoncollection · 21/05/2021 21:34

Deeply deeply enjoying this thread.

Luckily Barnsley is still in the 1970s so it’ll take the Yorkshire variant a while to get there.

KurtWilde · 21/05/2021 21:33

Heating only goes on December to February. After that we just put a vest on. My granny always said don't cast a clout til may be out, best way to keep your cockles warm.

vera99 · 21/05/2021 21:32

... and on cue DS starts playing the Wallace & Gromit theme tune, which seems he learnt in music lesson today. Sign from Above or what.

Quaggars · 21/05/2021 21:24

@Mcfarts
Putting the heating on in May?!
Nah, it only goes on in minus temperatures, even then it's still practically t-shirt weather lol
Yep, definitely feel yer forehead for fever/delirium if suddenly feeling t'cold Grin
I think I do number 3 daily anyway so couldn't tell if that was a symptom if I caught lol
