    As I put on another thread, just watch some old Top Of The Pops to see that there was an enormous amount of dire ‘music’ about back then. What was on TOTP was mimed to, add insult to injury!

    In Yorkshire - it’s good is that! Also going t pub!

    Also pundits paid a **** load of money whose command of the vocabulary is shocking ie Rio Ferdinand who makes Beckham appear half intelligent!

    In fairness though all areas have their own dialect and nothing can be as difficult as Black Country and Yorkshire has its own idiosyncrasies.

    The use of “T” before certain things is a shortening of “to the” or “the”.

    If you think Yorkshire is hard to understand then try moving to the Black Country after being in Yorkshire all your life 😆

    All my kids and my wife can barely understand our Geordie family but having grown up amongst that I have no problem with their dialect at all.

    The one I really can’t stand is Scouse.

    Whinging,moaning,horrible dialect that makes them spit their words out.

    I don’t much like the Brummie accent either as that’s another moany and whining nasal monstrosity.

    Backstop! Why do we use an American baseball term to describe a peculiarly British thing?

    Expressions that were increasingly used at work and got right on my t!ts

    ‘Are we talking ball park?’

    ‘We need some blue sky thinking’

    ‘Thinking out of the box for a moment’

    Sorry if they have already been mentioned.

    Good additions to the thread, I agree with your sentiments regarding their ‘ irritation level’!

    Another one, football this time, is when managers and players are talking about their club but always seem to say ‘........the football club’. Well, it wouldn’t be the f***ing bowls club, would it!
