Hi Trev
That is one of my standing 'digs' at Yorkshiremen - BB's been the target before!
This real southerner was born less than a mile from Tyne Dock station, and shed.

So the fella says "Well, i really wanted to become a dustman!!"

Ay up!
Why's a 20p shaped like it is?
So you can get a spanner on it and get change out of a Yorkshireman!

Re: Yorkshire
Hi BB
It will take more than a spanner to get cash out of a Yorkshireman - it normally takes explosives!!!
Just thought - have you tried hitting your wallet with the hammer

The real Southerner??

Re: Yorkshire

I tried a hammer. It were orrible!
A mallet worked briefly. I think the wallet was stunned. The only thing known to tame a Yorkshire wallet is my Black Cou :ntry wench.
Mind you, there's never owt in it when I get it back!
Mrs BB - that's 'cos its empty when I get it!!
I'm no fool - despite the rumours
BNAG - thats bang out of order!

Re: Yorkshire
Couple of years ago, I had a suit made and when it was ready I tried it on at the tailors.
I found that all the pockets were stitched up. I said to the tailor " How did you know I was a Yorkshireman?" He said that they always stitch the pockets to keep the flaps smooth when it's ready to carry away. I can un-stitch them now for you if you want.
No I replied I'm from the East Riding, leave 'em be.
