I...Dear Nicola - Thank you so much for you comment. I don't know how I missed this, and I am sorry I have taken so long to acknowledge your comment.<br /><br />Better late than never, eh?<br /><br />Well, I would CERTAINLY love to have you teach me a bit about beautiful Yorkshire, especially Leeds, and I hope you do. You must forgive me for not answering you faster, though.<br /><br />I must now confess to you that I was lying about not knowing anyone from Yorkshire. There is this one fine gentleman who visits this blog on rare occasion, but he won't speak of Yorkshire much, except to say it is God's paradise. Or words to that effect. I think it is because he doesn't want me coming there.<br /><br />Please visit again!Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-75163631720864240602011-05-25T14:50:55.246-06:002011-05-25T14:50:55.246-06:00Loved this.

I listened to some Yorkshire (or at least what they call "Northern") accents on tape a whle back. Oddly, on of the people in the conversation I had no trouble understanding, but the other person I could only catch a word now and then. I don't know. It's English all right, but it just seems the accent is on the wrong syllable half the time and you are always 30 seconds behind. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-55315824649973917672011-04-18T21:30:04.486-06:002011-04-18T21:30:04.486-06:00@Adullamite - So Yorkshire has a football team of ...@Adullamite - So Yorkshire has a football team of sorts, then? :)<br /><br />I'm studying up on Manchester and Liverpool for an upcoming post.

Sometimes, that's a great pity. <br /><br />James Herriot, who wrote several books describing his experiences as a Yorkshire vet, does (as far as I can tell) a superlative job writing how the way the native speak and think. I love reading his work.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-19241114269613213602011-04-16T02:54:12.757-06:002011-04-16T02:54:12.757-06:00It took two goes to read all that!
" Not muc...It took two goes to read all that!<br /><br />" Not much competitive football or cricket or rugby in Yorkshire, that I could find mention of. "<br />He he he!
