I thought God's own country was Yorkshire?

[gness]

Lang may yer lum reek....... I wish you long life.........

Haud yer wheest......Shut up Minty!

[maggiebee]

Johnny, don't think you'll hear many Scots saying "och aye the noo." Have never used it in my life. You might hear "hae this, it'll skite the hunger' aff ye" or "Yer jist a wee bachle". Others available if required.

Of course it is, Prudie - Scotland is where we holiday as being next best. :)

Wha pu''d the gallouses aff me man's breeks?

(Interestingly, the word 'gallouses' means the same iin Calderdale. Not many people know that! I suspect that they are not worried that they don't!)

[Barmaid]

Just "please" and "thank you" and "where can I buy waterproofs/an umbrella/a boat"

[jourdain2]

B-M add 'How much midge repellent do I need?'

My earlier contribution means 'Who removed the braces from my husband's trousers.' .................Don't ask.

If you want a pint of bitter, you need to ask for heavy, and then say 'seventy shilling'.

It's my round, is a phrase you'll rarely hear in Jockoland:-)

[sunny-dave]

If you want to buy green vegetables, you need a note from your doctor ...

Tomato Ketchup is one of your "five a week"

[jourdain2]

Deep fried Mars bars are a culinary experience - oh! and don't, if under the influence, ask for a Glasgow kiss!

[aelmpvw]

[douglas9401]

You could try 'I must apologise for some of my fellow countrymen and their crap, tired 'jokes'.
