Rick, there's a famous Yorkshire saying - 'there's nowt as queer as folk'. Perhaps it should be amended to read:
"there's nowt as queer as Yorkshire folk"
Celler in the loft indeed - nodding his head sagely!
Other possible Yorkshire "isms" to ponder on:
Hear all, see all, say nowt. Eight all, sup all, pay nowt and if tha ever does owt for nowt allus do it for thi sen
As 'appy as a pig in’t’trough
Wer's thus muck thus brass
Pop thi clogs
Wha arta bletherin abaht?
Paul
P.S. This is the old and correct use of the word "queer" which predates by a century or two its modern usage. It just means "peculiar"
