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

everythingthelighttouches · 21/05/2021 22:37

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

Not like those soft, southern variants!

@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

@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!

Obviously if Lancashire get their own varient ,it will be bigger and better than Yorkshire's 😂

RhubarbTea · 22/05/2021 00:11

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

Nope, they'll just THINK it's better than Yorkshire's Grin

@RhubarbTea don't be daft that's like saying Lancashire hotpot is better than Yorkshire pudding. Fighting talk 🤣

@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 · 22/05/2021 00:46

Brilliant thread ,cheered me reet up ,we all know Lancashire,s better than yorkshire though 😉

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 22/05/2021 00:48

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

Too late. My best friend has just arrived from Yorkshire to stay with me in London Blush Hopefully they'll close the borders so she has to stay for months Grin

Arbadacarba · 22/05/2021 09:38

Reports coming in of severe delays on the M62 as desperate Yorkshire folk flee down south ...

Yorkshire Variant
TheQueef · 22/05/2021 09:40

They aren't fleeing.
That's our border force.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 22/05/2021 09:47

Warning to those trying to sneak over the Southern border to steal our variant... We have Polar Bears in Yorkshire.

And ferrets down our trousers.

KurtWilde · 22/05/2021 09:51

Tha'll not ere Yorkshire folk complaining, get thi sen down t't pub and have a pint a tetley's. That'll sithee reet.

As much as I'd love this thread to end up in MN classics I think it's unlikely 🤣

Wow, does it have a flat cap rather than spikes on this virus 🙄

So many variants it will be a test to see if the vaccine works for them all

Ahh loving this post while supping me Yorkshire Tea.
