If you go to a Fish and Chips shop you can ask for a chip butty, chips in a buttered crusty roll.
@@Thnsrd42 at chip shop , i would ask for a pea mix ( chips with mushy peas) , 1 of each = fish and chips, and a fish scollop= 2 slices of potato with a slice of fish in the middle deep fried in a batter , and that is Worksop talk, and I don't think any other town in uk , but could be wrong
Hi. Yorkshireman here. Gotta correct this. A butty is a hot sandwich ie chip butty or sausage butty. A sandwich is cold ie cheese sandwich. Also a brew is tea,,,,, n only tea.
I know you probably won't see this because this posted over a year ago but happy Yorkshire day. Lots of love from South Yorkshire xxx
@@amyshaw0306 saw it and THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️
He is clearly from yorkshire but speaking in a way that i used to call my mum,s "telephone voice" which she would adopt when answering a call...hah
Posh Yorkshire man.
I would say "he has gone up an hyphen"
Yea very posh
My mum and dad did this too trying to talk posh on phone. 😂
Bagsy is not just about front seat of car but anything you want to claim before anyone else. eg. Bagsy the last chocolate, bagsy the left over yorkshire puddings
And it's used from one end of Britain to the other, as are most of the words he's saying.
The whole country use bagsy as a saying, it's not just Yorkshire...lol
@@hetrodoxly1203 exactly, Yorkshire has a few saying unique to it, but most of what he's saying is UK wide
It's actually, bags it! not bagsy.
@@glastonbury4304 I agree, he's hardly Yorkshire, just playing on standard speak.
I am from the Midlands and my mum was from Devon and most of those expressions were commonplace in our house. As far as I could tell only two were exclusive to Yorkshire and they were "Be Reicht" and "Ginnel". My dad was always telling me to, "put the wood in the 'ole "when I was a kid (referring to the wooden door being fitted into the hole in the wall). We don't use the term Wood to mean what you were thinking! A northern expression which always confused me is "Well, I'll go t' foot of our stairs!" For some reason this means "I'm Flabbergasted!" I think the Scots more often use the term Lassie that just Lass. I haven't heard the term Ciggie (meaning cigarette) for a long time. Brits usually refer to them as Fags (which is derived from the Navy term for the smouldering piece of rope used for firing the cannons . . The Fag End). I guess "having a fag behind the cycle sheds", means something entirely different in the US.
Nah. Ginnel was used in my house in Greater Manchester. Great phrase "Look at them legs. He couldn't stop a pig in a ginger."
@@ruthfoley2580 same here , I grew up in Manchester ( north side!) , also used by my stepdad who was from Glasgow.
You're forgetting the classic "bum a fag", which means "scrounge a cigarette" and not "have anal sex with a gay man".
@@ruthfoley2580 • I think you've got a typo there. The expression is "couldn't stop a pig in a ginnel."
I once horrified some American lads I was gaming online with, when I told them I was just popping out to smoke a fag.
To smoke, being American slang for shooting/killing someone, had them questioning exactly what I meant 😱, especially since I said it so casually 😂😂
I’m originally from Sheffield which is only 35 miles from Leeds but our pronunciation of those phrases is markedly different.
I'm from Leeds and even in different parts of Leeds the pronunciations can be different. For example ive heard put wood in't ole as well as put wood in't oil.
@@78vinyl97 yeah totally!! my mum was from Harehills and dad from Horsforth- some words are said very differently 😂
@@nicolap2 I'm from South Leeds and it's the same there.
I'm from Sheffield but my grandad is from Barnsley and there's a massive difference when he used go broad
Yeah I'm from Wakefield in West Yorkshire but I live in Sheffield and my favourite thing about living here is knowing I have a much better accent than everyone else.
Being from Yorkshire/Lancashire and watching this, paying attention to how we chop our words up, and all the small little phrases that have no meaning outside of the UK - makes me conscious of how little things in my speech must seem quite odd to Americans. No wonder they always think I'm Scottish, lol.
I'm from Yorkshire and I keep thinking I'm secretly scottish
Yeah I'm from West Yorkshire and I've noticed our whole vocabulary when we speak is designed to shorten as much of a sentence as possible, like for example the sentence "I'm not really bothered about that, I'm going to go home", I'd say as "I int reyt bothered mate am off 'ome"
Eww Lancashire
I’m from Lancashire and live in Yorkshire. I love our dialect. It’s very similar.
Reading some of the comments below, they are right in saying that the Yorkshire accent differs from place to place. There is also proper dialect words that are a legacy of our Viking past. For example, the word 'Laik' is used instead of the word 'play' ie. play a game or playing out ( laiking out). Also words like 'thee and thou' are used to refer to a person instead of 'you'. If you want to get a brilliant taste of proper Yorkshire, try to get a film called 'Kes'. This was filmed in the late 1960's in and around Barnsley. You will probably need subtitles to understand the dialogue! Love and peace from South Yorkshire.
Thank you so much for this video. As a yorkshire lass, you had me crying with laughter, especially your look of total shock natasha after put wood int'ole. Your laugh is very infectious.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE
A lot of these aren't only used in Yorkshire. For example, " faffing about" is used in Sussex as well as many other places.
My mum has a book somewhere and I remember reading that the fishermen of Flamborough in East Yorkshire could converse with their Danish counterparts as recently as the 1800s. A shame that the real dialects and different words dating back to the Vikings are increasingly lost.
Being from Lincolnshire, a lot of these expressions do carry over from t'other side of the Humber!
'Butty', comes from a buttered sandwich. The most popular variety which it's used is a, 'chip butty.' Preferably hot chips in a generously buttered sandwich. Gorgeous, if done right!
Chewing gum was always referred to as, 'spoggy', where I lived! 🤣
'Put door int' 'ole', reminds me of something said when you obscure someone's view, (usually of the television at home.) Namely, 'you make a better door than a window!'
I could add on one from my neck of the woods, that is to do what's deemed necessary in order to arrive at work on time. 'Gerra potato clock!' Which simply means, 'Get up at 8'oclock.'
I don't put butter in a chip sandwich but I still call it a chip butty
Americans don’t generally put butter in a sandwich…. Weird, I know….
Funny thing during the war my grandmother was evacuated to yorkshire from Brighton. When she went back home her dad who was a bit of a snob sent her for elocution lessons because she had picked up the accent🤣🤣🤣 forty something years later my parents moved us to the same area she had been evacuated to and I went to the same school. I've been in yorkshire for 34 years.
I'm a Leeds lass. I've never used the word 'mardy' .... I'd most likely say ' put ya face straight will ya'.
I used to confuse my hubby when we first met as he is not a yorkshire lad. I'd say ' spuggie, instead of sparrow' ,to play or mess about was ' what ya laiking at' and to look for something was ' to scout about or scout around for it'.
The one my dad used to say when the weather was freezing' its so cold, I don't know whether I'm Arthur or Martha'
These expressions are not confined to Yorkshire. I'm in south east England and use most of them. Perhaps this chap has never left his own county.
Hi Richard obviously the South copied the North and I bet you never said 'laiking' for playing or 'nuddie' for naked.
@@lufe8773 'Laiking' - no, but 'nuddie' yes of course. And in these parts an alley way is a 'twitten'.
@@richardmeech7422 Richard yes I listened to a program about English years ago and Nuddie was (then) used in I think Holland and Germany so must go back all the way to the Saxons or Angles. Kind of nice to think of it that way. Also never heard of 'twitten' wonder if it meant tween as in between? I think we called it a 'ginnel' or jinnel' You got to love the differences Richard.
That was so funny! Loved your reaction
Recently moved to wombwell. Land of the dingles!
I moved to Rotherham from down south to be with my partner and I refuse to pronounce Wombwell as anything other than Womble! 😂 the first time I saw it on a road sign I only half caught it and it's forever in my brain as that now.
When he omits the double t in "butty", that's a common feature across quite a few British accents called a glottal stop. The contracting of words is more common in the North. (You'll hear Peter Kay doing it, for instance.)
You can guess where a person is from by the pet names they use, as these are distinct from region to region. Depending on where you are in the country, you might be called "petal", "flower", "love", "pet", "duck", etc. In the Midlands (where I'm from), people will call you "chick", "chicken", "cocker" or "cock". Brits don't make it easy to make a family friendly show. 😂
I am from warwick ,leamington area never heard chicken used but duck very common as in "you alright me duck"
Born and bred in London and was making cakes for a friend's restaurant. They asked if I wanted a brew. I looked at the floor, thinking I'd made a mess, and they were offering me a broom 🤣
BTW, you are such a sweet couple
Hiya Jessica, when my Ex boss came to Whitehaven from Bethnal Green he thought our language was a foreign one, but thankfully he's got used to it now, when he finished work he would go and ask Emma what the defination was.
You also have to get used to the implied 'the' in Yorkshire, we used to shorten it to t' i.e. 'I'm off in t' kitchen' and in some areas this is still the case, but in Leeds where I live the 'the' is now implied as in 'I'm off in ' kitchen'. You may notice the short pause where the 'the' would be used.
Edit: I did this before he covered it but I'll leave it up.
Greetings from Yorkshire, (West Yorkshire, Leeds) enjoyed this video.. you did great
Greetings fellow leodensian.
You actually did quite well with those. As you will have discovered, accents can differ a lot within just a few miles in the UK and because Yorkshire is the biggest county accents and expressions can differ a lot across the county and gets diluted a bit at the edges. So in North Yorkshire (where I’m from) some phrases and expressions and the accent differs quite a bit to South and West Yorkshire.
Lived in York for 18 months. Never lost my Greater Manchester accent except for the word "York." I still say it that way 24 years later.
I’m from East Yorkshire people have trouble understanding me 10: miles away.
@@jemmajames6719 and those 10 marls would only take farv minutes to travel for a bottle of warn 😆
I do think there are more similarities between East and North Yorkshire compared to West and South. Especially when the Hull twang has now spread North to Scarborough and I would say young people sound different to their grandparents.
"Chuddy" and Ginnel" are the only two I've never come across before? I'll ask my mate from Leeds. I've worked for decades with northerners too. The rest I've heard in use, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands too? They others are just spoken elsewhere in the British Isles, with a different dialect.
Ay up Natasha and Debbie. Love the word "mardy," often relates to a child's behaviour. e.g. having a tantrum, being sulky because they haven't got their own way
That's how I'd use it aswell. Mardy bum 😏
In my part of the world its "mard arse."
@@ruthfoley2580 Ah yes, I used to use that a lot until I moved away from Lancashire. Where Mardy bum became more prevalent.
Some of these expressions are in general use and not exclusive to the county of Yorkshire. He missed out that in Yorkshire they still use 'thee' ('sit thee down' = please sit down), 'thou' and 'yonder'.
They also use 'while' meaning until. As in 'I wont see him while the weekend'.
Am a Kiwi first job in England was in a Portsmouth pub. First order was a Brown and bitter, from Yorkshireman. It took 6 attempts to understand and I till needed help from a local.
Funnily enough “shut the front door” is another expression we use. This means an expression of disbelief
@Bluepurgatory1 A pc version of stfu
I did not get all of these either, especially the wood in the hole one. My mind started wandering as well 🤣😂. Did not think that they were talking about closing the door. Good work again girls.
The accent for shutting the door is ‘put wood int’oil’ and is often accompanied with ‘was ta born in a barn?’ Another door related saying was ‘tha makes a better door than a winder, lad’: in other words you’re in the way.
Well done, you’ve done really well! 👍❤️
Happy birthday for tomorrow Debbie. Have a wonderful day xx
The euphemism that is putting the wood in the hole, that phrase will never be the same again 🤣
the only one i had no idea on was ginnel. we say jitty for a small alley. that was a fun video though. happy birthday for monday Debbie.
I would say over half of these are not exclusive to Yorkshire. Wonder how many real exclusive phrases he missed? Over to you, Yorkshire lads, lasses and little TYKES, let us know.
Didn't watch all the video Georgie so apologies if these were mentioned. Laikin for playing, Nuddie for naked, sitha for see you, chara for bus, keyleged for bow legged, and the word 'the' disappeared somewhere along the M1 just before it enters Yorkshire. Chara was short for Charabanc the French word for bus (I believe) Starved for hungry as in 'starving' for something to eat. Actually went to work just outside of Leeds in Morley back in the day and at the end of the day a fellow worker said 'asta addled thee salt then' I hadn't a clue what he was talking about and he was born only five miles from me. By the way addled meant earned or work and salt was the old way of saying money as in Roman times they might be paid in Salt.
@@lufe8773 Thanks for coming up with some 'Hum-dingers', these sound like real examples! And yes, it's amazing what a difference 5 miles can make in the UK. I've heard most of those at odd times [well I am 60 now] but have to admit 'Laikin' was a new one, does it sound like 'Larking' as in 'Larkin' about'?
@@geordieboy8945 Never thought about it as Larking but it was more Laikin than anything and we used both words but interesting so thanks for that. I wrote a long post back to you but lost it so if this is a repeat please ignore it. I live a long way away now on the other side of the world but after thirty years away some of those words kept popping into my head and I realised it was time for us to go home for a holiday. Listening to the folk on the buses etc. was like someone had thrown a warm blanket over you. I like the Geordie accent as well plus the others . Here in Australia I heard that sometimes migrants from some European countries, as they get old and a touch of dementia forget how to speak English and revert back to their native tongue. Maybe not so much now its not uncommon for those who came here as adults after the war. I kind of like that because 'what's in you, is in you' and a reflection of who you shared your life with. Have a great day mate every time you use one of the 'old' words its keeping something alive.
Natasha,you are a total nutter. Love the intros to your videos,keep it up. And Debbie is really coming out of her shell,showing her funny side. And obviously why you fell in love with her like we all have,cant wait for next video. As Jerry said "take care of yourselves, and each other"
Thank you every so much for the great start to the day. There's nothing quite like having a good laugh with you two lovely lassies. Another brilliant vid. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Debbie and many happy returns.
I've never laughed so much 😂 great video. Happy birthday Debbie for tomorrow have good un.
I know you probably won't see this because this was posted over a year ago but happy Yorkshire day. Lots of love from South Yorkshire xxx
Where I come from, "snicket" and "ginnel" are two separate things: a "snicket" is in the open, whereas a "ginnel" is covered - i.e. a tunnel through a building.
Thanks so much for the flag!!! ❤️ ❤
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow No problem. You are very welcome. Glad to see it at the start of the video.
Just looked up "Dibs" as I have heard it used here occasionally. Apparently it comes from the 17th century childrens game "Dibstones". I'm sure someone will argue the toss about that though?
Hey up lasses. Absolutely loved that reaction. Love seeing you both break down with 'put wood int ole' classic. I'm from leeds so this vid brought it home. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Debbie xx
Eah that was funny as lol
Some of these are used on the other side of the Pennines in Lancashire/Greater Manchester (Red Rose county areas). Older dialect on the Western side of the Pennines is quite similar to places like Leeds. The stereotypical 'Manc' Manchester accent is generational; despite my being born in Manchester in the 1960s, hearing the Gallagher brothers 'Oasis' accent was quite rare until the 1990s.
Thank you ladies for such a good laugh especially at this time. Happy birthday Debbie
Loved that video. Especially the reaction to Wood ‘n’ t’ hole. And I learnt a new word Chuddy. Never heard that before x
Great video! Also were you born in a barn? Said after you've left the door open lol.
Happy birthday Debbie! 🥳
Happy birthday Debbie.😘
I am from Leeds (Yorkshire) and there is a Yorkshire mantra:
Hear all, see all say nowt
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt
and if tha does owt for nowt; do it fer thissen.
I love how you got from 'ey up' to Freddie. That was so good and funny! :-D
I was totally lost on these expressions!! No idea what any of them meant! But I thought Americans were the only ones who shortened words & slurred them together!!😂😂
Wait!!! I did know what "lass" meant!! A huge fan of Lassie of movie & t.v. fame!!!
Hilarious watching you two on the verge of needing a brown paper bag. (Hyperventilating).
Hilarious Vid, well done and a very Happy Birthday for tomorrow Debbie 🎉🎂
Great content guys 👍🏻 this was a really fun watch 🙂
Great video! There were a few of these I’d never heard before so I learnt something as well 🙂
21 again ! I know the feeling.
Happy birthday debbie!!🥳🥳🇬🇧
I’m originally from Manchester which isn’t from Yorkshire but still in the North and we use a lot of the same phrases
so funny 🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Debbie! 💐 xx
Happy birthday Debbie, much love and best wishes 👍💖🎂🎁😊.
I love put wood int ‘ole ‘ shut the door’ 🤣🤣🤣
Or another great one is if it’s cold and you forget to shut the door someone might say “ Were you born in a barn?! Shut the door!’ 🤣🤣
My dad was a Yorkshire man and never lost his accent after he'd lived in Nottingham for 41 years.
Hi ladies, I'm from North Yorkshire and that was hilarious, couldn't stop laughing at your guesses. I didn't realise that I use all them words apart from ginnel, never heard of that one. You guys crack me up love watching you. That was so much fun. It's the same for us trying to guess southern states in America like Louisiana or somewhere. It's hard to figure out. Cant wait for your next video. 🤗
I'm surprised you have never heard ginnel my grandparents used it all the time and they were from Bradford and when I was younger growing up in Blackpool we called the path that ran alongside the railway line the ginnel
We always called it a snicket ha ha
@@jojeffrie962 when I moved to York I had no clue what a snicket or snickleway was.
Hello Greeting from the UK when I was growing up in the westmidlands (The Black Country)they would say up the wooden hill and put the wood in the hole😁 🇬🇧🇺🇸
We used Bagsy all the time at school but this was in the south east of England and was in the 1970's!
Thank you for this video made me smile and giggle so much 💖
In’t is definitely associated with Yorkshire here in London. We also are aware that Tykes (Yorkshire folk) like to say that ‘I like what I say and I bloody say what I like’ 😄. They are famous for being blunt.
The definite article ('the', not yer blunt lad) is most often committed in Tyke. That's how you tell a Yorkshire man from an article from across the Pennines. They stress the 't', we omit it.
A film to watch set in Sheffield, is "The Full Monty" immerse yourselves in the South Yorkshire accent.
For small town West Yorkshire try the long comedy series "Last of the Summer Wine" about a group of pensioners having fun adventures.
To 'a' South Yorkshire accent, not 'the'.
I laughed all the way through this vlog. I'm Yorkshire, born and bred. I could see exactly what you two were thinking about Put wood int door.
So funny.
Here's one I prepared earlier.

It isn't in the tin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE for tomorrow have a great day Natasha spoil Debbie 😘
Don't forget to put wood int ole.
If it’s any consolation, I don’t understand the “put wood int ole” either 🤷♀️😂
This gave me a good laugh :) Great reaction.
That was hilarious 😂 im in Suffolk near Norfolk definitely know and say cuppa, lass, chip butty, and faffin about but never heard of some of the others lol. Happy birthday for tomorrow Debbie
Most of these are British slang not just Yorkshire lol
Here’s some good local ones for you -
croggy
jitty
cob
The second two especially are likely to cause debates around the country as to what the term should be
Jitty and cob are Leicestershire terms for alley and bread roll?!
@@rachealbrown2166 not just Leicestershire, at least most of the East Midlands
My family are from Liverpool and we use most of those expressions. We pronounce it as 'put wood in thole'. I call my little granddaughter 'mardy pants', if she gets moody.
I’m from Nottingham. One of our favourite sayings is “ey up me duck”, a greeting meaning really just hello. Happy birthday Debbie for Monday. My husband’s birthday was on Saturday. No one likes getting older but as it said on one of his birthday cards, you’re only a day older than yesterday. Keep up the good work girls.
Not quite sure he says they are Yorkshire phrases, I’m from Channel Islands, furtherest south of British Isles and these are common phrases in every day conversation
2 of my grandparents are from Yorkshire, 1 is from Lancashire and 1 was from Devon so I have heard a lot of Yorkshire slang over the years.
When a door made of wood is in the open position the empty dor frame is the hole and by shutting the door you put the wood in the hole.
I'm laffin at put wood int ole . This video and your laughter is fantastic .
As someone from the south-west, I had fun guessing along with you! I've never heard of half of these!
Strange as a Londoner living in SE Kent i would say most of the expressions we also use and those we dont we would certainly understand.
This vid is class! I've laughed so much lol x
Another great video, had me laughing so much lol. Happy birthday for Monday Debbie xx
You made me laugh so much when the lad said put wud int hoil 😂 another one is. It's tatters out there get thee coit on. Means it's very cold outside put your coat on. Anyway, si thi lata. Love from a true yorkshire lass of 67. ❤
Been watching your channel, this reaction to “put wood in hole” is the best one yet!
Happy birthday Debbie 🎉🎂💐🎁🎈🌹
He missed the best example of "gi" although it is sometimes considered "common". When we were both teens my cousin's favourite expression was "Gi Or" - more properly Gi' O'r meaning give over. Put wood into ole makes sense when you remember that doors are made of wood.
Happy Birthday, Debbie.
As other comments have said, there are many different accents within Yorkshire. I was born in Sheffield and there is a big difference between there and how people speak in Leeds or Barnsley. There is a book about the Sheffield dialect which you might be able to find although it's pretty rare. I've heard, not sure it's true, that the Sheffield accent is the oldest known form of English still spoken. I grew up using thee instead of you.
Thee? Tha's posh lad, we say dee on Manor ...

Have a wonderful Birthday Debbie 🎂🍦💕
Happy Sunday from the UK, I live just outside of Yorkshire and we use most of these expressions and alot from nearby Durham, we also say Shotgun 😂
Yay! welcome to Yorkshire x 😀
Happy birthday, Debbie!
Put wood in hole... We all know where your minds were family friendly show or not, (yes it was very funny) My farther was a Yorkshireman and he took me there for the first time when I was about 14, I could not understand a word, mainly because of the thick accent AND the words they used.
If it's accents you like, try Black Country, very similar to my own Brummie accent but much, much thicker and varies from town to town, for instance Wolverhampton and Dudley are just a few miles apart but the difference in accent is quite noticeable.
Good vid again ladies, more please.👍
Hi. I love this kind of thing. From ages 1 to 7 I lived in a small village north-west of Sheffield. I developed a very strong Yorkshire accent. A couple of phrases I used at that time are things like; "geor nah uw!" which means 'give over now you! I.e. "please stop that!" Folk would regularly refer to each other as thee (you), thy(your), thas(yours). And places were often referred to as oil(hole), particularly "chip oil", the fish and chips shop and "schoil oil", and also '"lug oils", ear holes/ ears. For example, "open thee lug oils, lad. I said, get darn' chip oil 'fore it shuts! "
At 7 years of age we moved Rochdale, Lancashire. Outlanders, find the Lancashire and Yorkshire accents indistinguishable. But I had great difficulty adjusting, particularly around the words were, where, there etc. In my Sheffield accent I pronounce them as "they'ah", "way'ah" etc, my Lancastrian school mates pronounced them "wurr", "thurr". L: "Wurr's ur 'ows then?", Y: "owun they'ah."Lanc: 'Where is your house, then?", York: "Over there".
I have a phrase for you that my Rochdalian family would always ask me as a child, when visiting, to my immense chagrin. I have never heard it any other place or time, although I expect it is fairly widespread, and sounds very much like a Southern person (American) might say: "Are ya courtin', lad?"
Edit: ruclips.net/video/I2AcJSkUw6M/видео.html For your entertainment!
I moved to Yorkshire over 20 years ago and I'm still what they call an "off comed 'un" (Somebody who is not from the area) - we do take pleasure in telling off-comed un's "T'int int tin" (It isn't in the tin). There is a song about the moor at my town "On Ilkley Moor Bar Tat" (Bar Tat means without your hat). Some of these are not only Yorkshire, My Dad used to say put the wood in the hole, were you born in a barn? when I was growing up down south. In the county that calls a ginnel a twitten, and brought the world the "Trug". Happy Birthday Debbie hope you have a good'un
Regarding the term " put wood int hole" was circling around before the slang term wood, referring to male body parts.
Hey lasses loved this video it was awesome and loved your 2 reaction to put wood int ole ive never heard this. We use the word butty, brew and cuppa in wales too.
we do use Shotgun, but only when claiming the front seat of a car. Bagies can be claiming anything.
Happy birthday Debbie. In Natasha the spirit of the carry on films lives on. You may have to goggle that xxx
You should learn the Yorkshire song "On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at" - which means "On Ilkley Moor without a hat". Would love to hear you sing it in a broad Yorkshire accent! 😀
But here's a bit of advice...
'Ear all, see all an' say nowt,
Eat all, sup all an' pay nowt,
An' if tha does owt fer nowt, do it fer thi'sen. 😀
Greetings from Leeds , Yorkshire. I just laughed my way through that video with you 🤣👍😘😘😘😘
