    Yorkshire man takes his cat to the vet.

    Yorkshireman: "Ayup, lad, I need to talk to thee about me cat."
    Vet: "Is it a tom?"
    Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've browt it with us."

    A Yorkshiremans dog dies and as it was a favourite pet he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweller to remember the dog by.

    Yorkshireman: "Can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?"

    Jeweller: "Do you want it 18 carat?"

    Yorkshireman: "No I want it chewin' a bone yer daft bugger!"

    A Bradford couple are playing 'I spy' in the kitchen.
    'I spy with my little eye something beginning with T' said the husband.
    "Tea pot said the wife." 'Nay Lass!'
    "Tea towel." 'Nay Lass!'
    "Toaster." 'Nay Lass!' he said, drumming his fingers on the work top.
    "Oh I don't know" she said at long last "I give in"
    'It's easy' he said. 'It's t'oven!'

    A Yorkshiremans' wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "she were thine" engraved on it.

    He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be ready a few days after the funeral. True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look.

    When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "she were thin". He explodes – fooking 'ell man, you've left the fooking "e" out, you've left the fooking "e" out!

    The stone mason apologises and assures the poor widower that it will be rectified the following morning. Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason – "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you".

    The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud –

    "E, she were thin".

    As I used to say to a friend from York who sadly passed away a few years ago:

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

    I work in Barnsley and the word "eat" most definitely is pronounced "eight"

    How are you pronouncing eight though?

    ate?

    It's a play on words – "eat" is pronounced "ate". So "something to eight" refers both to the time and the eating of the pie. Probably…… 🙂

    I Thank you,
    At work we just got taken over by a Barnsley company, they all talk funny at the new Head Office (but very quaint). This is the joke being banded around by text (and I'm from North Yorkshire, nowhere near round there, it's another language/dialect, even to me).
    The MD has a very strong Barnsley accent, it's difficult to take him seriously.
    What the bloody 'ell are you going on about?

    I'm from yorkshire, lived in yorkshire all my life, have met some very strong accented folk, but never, ever in my time speaking to yorkshire people have i ever heard them utter the famous " t' " at the start of any words.

    it just doesn't happen!

    Really pook? You've never heard someone say "I'm just off to t'shop" or something like that?!

    As Clarkson once said – it is more inferred than said (ie someone from Yorkshire couldn't say the band name 'The The' as it would just come out as a twitch).

    But it IS alive and well – you clearly just haven't noticed it.

    A Yorkshireman would never "I'm just of to t'shop" cause their all to tight to spend any money. The "T" thing is Lancashire.
    Though once in a pub I did here a chap give the Yorkshire war cry when told the price of a pint "Ow much".

    That's a lanky dialect quiz, not yaarksher.

    and it does annoy me when southerners think t' goes before any noun. As has been pointed out, t' only goes before consonant – before a vowel, th' is required. In many cases, the preceding word is also followed by 't

    e.g.
    Am goin't t'pub
    Purrit in't th'oven

    etc etc
