How to speak like a true Yorkshireman!!!!
As some of you may know, I am from a great great city called Sheffield (we invented stainless steel, football, floodlights, def leapard - sorry about that one - pulp and the arctic monkies), which is in the county/state/ken of Yorkshire in the uk. Yorkshire people have a very distinct accent...and one that i have unfortunately over the years of being away, lost (although i guess there is a trace there somewhere....?) click on the link below, and it will take you to a page where they have yorkshire phrases and words (phonetically). click on the words and the pronounciation can be heard (you need sound up). (barnsley by the way is the town next to sheffield, but the accents are the same). I love this, it makes me laugh...and feel a little sad that i have lost my accent. working out what the phrase means was however dead easy for me...however, some of you may struggle...for those, the answers are below. again, i love this, this is how i used to speak, and how people speak where i come from...love it!!
p.s. the more i listen to them, the more i slip back into yorkshire mode! i swear its the same after ive listened to the arctic monkies, i start talking all sheffield again!

Hmm.... why do i get the feeling this has something to do with what i said?? ;D
No, Barnsley people don't have the same accent as Sheffield people, Sheffielders are much more refined!!!!!

hello mother dear,
well, technically speaking yes, you are right, BUT thats on a micro level, when people possibly reading this come from the far flung corners of the earth, then the tiny differences in south yorkshire accents are not discernable....one guy i got chatting to last week (american) asked me where abouts in australia i come from!...

when i was in the states i was repeatedly asked what part of australia i was from too...duh.
i love yorkshire accents, they are by far my fave :-)
Some of my favourite people come from the mighty Pontefract...eh up cocker.
p.s. i think 21 is Can i make anything with it...what says u?
nice try kat, but make is mek. lake doent mean anything to me. sounds like can i lay out with you...dunno
These are crazy! I did not get a single one. Us Canadians speak pretty boring English.
hi jenelle,
justine always accuses the british of being obsessed by talking about our regional accents all the time...so i wont bore you anymore, but it is true, if you go 100km from one place to another, chances are you might not be able to understand a word they are saying! to me though, these make (mek) complete sense...you got none????

First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before
writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!
