if yorkshire was a country we would be 7th in the Olympics medal table at the moment



Mmmmm! were are the Aussies

Edited for accuracy

And thats before the Brownlee brothers have took part in the Triathlon.

Should actually be : we're better

and: have taken part

Dear me, have I got nowt better t'do !

Well done Team Yowksha









TBH the "as" & "has" mix ups and "after" & "have to" errors on this site infuriate me, i don't know haw I keep quiet about them, but you get shot to bits on forums by enforcing the "Grammar Police" standards

Lose and loose always get me annoyed!

Haw do you you keep quiet?
Haw does your last post make you look daft?
Haw will you live it down!

Only one person here looking daft and its not me

I can vouch for that.

especially if it a pair of trousers

Shouldn't that say it's?

Another Gold and Bronze for team Yorkshire!!

tim bresnan's made a very funny tweet on this.

I were a teacher for many years and it always amazed me how some children consistently said and wrote I were and we was.
One would think that if people have no idea which is correct they would be right 50 percent of the time.
But no, they consistently get the two the wrong way round.
I bet I have let myself in for some stick now.

i find richard agar's daft use of "us" instead of "our" hilarious. it makes him sound a lot thicker than he clearly is.

I'd be surpised if the majority of teachers would notice these days.

Irony?

I think a lot of it is down to the Yorkshire dialect, for example if I was writing in an exam or something, I would put "I was walking down the street with my friend" but in speech it would sound like "Ah were walkin darnt street wi mi friend"

Noticed on the Olympics highlights programme last night and if Yorkshire was an actual country taking part in the Olympics, Yorkshire would be 11th in the medal table in all events. Independence anyone?
