Aug 21, 2015

Welcome to the 10 things you will be able to relate to if you grew up in Yorkshire… If you have anymore leave them in the comments!

1. Whenever you asked your dad where he was going, and he replied with ‘Off t’see a man about dog’ but you never ended up getting a dog… Probably went t’pub! #growingupinyorkshire

2. Being dragged to Meadowhall by your mother and naming it MeadowHELL. #growingupinyorkshire

3. Claiming that the ‘really fine rain’ got you the most wet. ‘Sorry I cant come leck out, it’s that really wet rain’ #growingupinyorkshire

4. Y’oreet being such a broad term can get confusing. If you are greeted with ‘Y’oreet’ there is a never dying confusion as to whether they are simply greeting you, or asking you the question ‘are you alright?’ #growingupinyorkshire

5. When stood in front of the TV for no longer than a second, and you get told ‘You make a better door than a window’. #growingupinyorkshire

6. When addressing meal time, It’s Breakfast, Dinner and Tea. Definitely not Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Definitely not. #growingupinyorkshire

7. You knew what ‘mardy bum’ means before Artic Monkeys made the song. #growingupinyorkshire

8. When your pal was grassin’ you up to your mum, your reply was always the same… ‘Eh, I dint do owt’. #growingupinyorkshire

9.When you’re sat in a room with the ceiling light turned on in the day time, and your parents walk in… ‘Like Blackpool Illuminations in ‘ere!’ . #growingupinyorkshire

10. Yorkshire is the only place where calling a complete stranger a name almost offensive to some, is completely acceptable. Cheers Duck. #growingupinyorkshire
