It's #YorkshireDay today - I'm not really one for day-hashtags, or "my place is better [or worse] than your place" one-up-man-ship but I do like #Yorkshire.
I've been here for 23 years and counting, so longer than I've lived anywhere else - and it's become part of me now.
My favourite Yorkshire dialect terms:
"gip" - dry heave, eg "the smell of that dead mouse makes me gip"
I've been unreliably informed by a cow-orker that today is #YorkshireDay. Being a southerner not versed in the ways of the Far North, I'm not sure quite what that entails, other than potentially lots of branded tea and some savoury puddings.
Things I miss about #Yorkshire now I'm forced to live in the south: (the south coast, not Sheffield...)
the accent. No one round here talks right.
dry stone walls and lambs in fields. What even are fields?
different cultures. Homemade samosas from next door, Syrian baklava, watching the Diwali parade and light show... Here? White people as far as the eye can see.
cheaper [insert item here]. Petrol, houses, pints... you name it, it's cheaper in the north! #YorkshireDay
