We Are Immigrants From Yorkshire

To explain – there is a move afoot to gain independence from the rest of the UK and make Yorkshire a Republic! OK, maybe we could go it alone and we actually warmed to the idea, until the truth came out that a republic has to have a President and that it would be a certain croquet playing MP from Hull – so we left!
When we were about to leave, we were approached by the local do-gooders who told us they assumed we were taking on a missionary role in order to spread the word about ‘The Ridings’ and before this could be done, we must teach the natives the language. They admitted that they had heard of Oxford English, but knew very little about it. Therefore, we offer the Yorkshire mans guide to the spoken word
