Seriously. Being reported by Sky.

Maybe this one is found in tea.

Honest.
Even if they don't say it out loud.
A nice long "Eeeeeehh" is good for the soul.

I bet if it was thought to come via Leeds Bradford airport then the airport would be closed quicker than Heathrow, where finally red list countries are to go through a separate terminal from 1 June, which is only 15 months after it should have happened.

A Yorkshire variant! I'll go t' foot of our stairs!

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 21/05/2021 16:31

Apparently one of the early symptoms is an overwhelming desire to pontificate about cricket

Oh, and an extra vest.
Ne'er cast a clout til May's out!

'I wonder if one of the symptoms is the overwhelming urge to purchase a whippet.'

... and wrinkled stockings

Let's just hope none of those infected decide to travel to London.

@PennineSpring

I reckon it's a ruse to stop anymore offcumdens moving to Hebden Bridge

Yorkshire fights back

Bout bloody time we showed our metal !👍

TheQueef · 21/05/2021 16:20

@ThreeLocusts 'ee bah gum' is Yorkshire dialect, a bit like a non blasphemous 'oh my god' but very versatile and tailorable to any situations.
It's all about how long the 'eeeee' is.
Most Yorkshire people use it regularly, makes a good punctuation noise too.

theemmadilemma · 21/05/2021 16:20

Grin This thread is why I fell in love with Yorkshire and I'm never leaving here.

WeAreTheHeroes · 21/05/2021 16:19

I'm a Lancastrian living in Derbyshire (foreigner) - we can't compete. I'm sure you tykes'll sort it out.

An ITN journo posted on our local FB page asking if anyone would talk to them about an alleged outbreak at a local school
She was unequivocally told to bugger off

It'll be double 'ard if it's Yorkshire. Proper, double 'ard.

Just braced up here for our very own Scottish variant....
I'd call that Krankie McVariant

It’s gotta be a mutant strain then coming from Yorkshire.

I can only drink the proper Yorkshire tea (pg tips aka piss water for emergencies only) so one can only fear the strength of this variant. Shudders.

Is it true the Geordie variant is a virus without any viral coat or jacket proteins?
