I'm not sure what it is,but something gives me that impression.

I'm from Yorkshire and I think that's really funny! Grin

NewtRipley · 21/03/2014 16:35

Buzzard.

Because I was trying to extend the joke to other people who bang on about where they come from.

Was it a mis-fire?

squoosh · 21/03/2014 16:37

Robson Green is always banging on about Northumberland despite doing his best to shed his native accent.

NewtRipley · 21/03/2014 16:37

Tom Jones may or may not be Welsh. I can't be sure because he doesn't like to talk about it.

I'll stop soon.

NewtRipley · 21/03/2014 16:39

BTW, I don't think people should necessarily stay where they were born. I don't have a deep emotional attachment to Essex, especially not after those awful Towie people got in on the act

I used to fancy him when he was in Ready, Steady, a Cook. Can't stand him now, as he's on everything, and seems to have turned into a cock.

I bet he drinks Yorkshire tea.

Onesieone · 21/03/2014 16:43

I love him! I mean I really love him! It's upsetting to think people don't like him. However my OH keeps telling me he's gay and would be more interested in him than me. Hmm

NewtRipley · 21/03/2014 16:43

I think it's unfair to criticise his weight.

squoosh · 21/03/2014 16:45

'I love him! I mean I really love him! It's upsetting to think people don't like him.'

Less competition for you!

You can always tell a Yorkshireman - but you can't tell him much!!!

BuzzardBird · 21/03/2014 16:51

...and your OH knows that because? Onesie (you have bigger problems) [grins]

BuzzardBird · 21/03/2014 16:52

Sorry Newt, I am so not 'on the ball' today. Blush

BuzzardBird · 21/03/2014 16:53

Never trust a thin chef.

NewtRipley · 21/03/2014 16:54

Buzzard

No worries. I thought i'd offended

UserNameDenied · 21/03/2014 17:00

The BBCs How Yorkshire Are You Test. Perhaps James could try it.

What's an improper Yorkshireman?

TheGirlFromIpanema · 21/03/2014 17:26

There's bloody loads of improper ones in Leeds of a Friday night Squoosh Wink

On the Yorkshire test, I got '100% Whippet'.

I have never been to the UK, let alone Yorkshire. My closest tie is DH and he's a southerner.

Confused
Charlesroi · 21/03/2014 17:30

Luxury! I used to live in a kitchen in t'Oxfordshire. And we used to dream of balsamic vinegar

He's turned into a bit of a knob over the last few years, hasn't he?
