Yorkshire Jokes

I am not an English language expert but there certainly is much variation in accents around the world, even within countries. If you don't know much about the Yorkshire accent, they drop the 'a' and 'the'. They also clip the ends off words and vowel sounds are different. Bearing this in mind may help you understand the jokes below.

Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've brought it with me."
