A Yorkshireman's dog dies and as it was a favourite pet he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweller to remember the dog by.

Yorkshireman: "Can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?"

Jeweller: "Do you want it 18 carat?"

Yorkshireman: "No I want it chewin' a bone yer daft bugger!"

.............................................................................
A Yorkshireman's wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "She were thine" engraved on it.
He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be ready a few days after the funeral.
True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look..

When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "She were thin".

He explodes: "'ells bells man, you've left the blood y "e" out, you've left the blood y "e" out!"

The stone mason apologises profusely and assures the poor widower that it will be rectified the following morning.

Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason: "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you".

The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud:

"E, she were thin".

I know of someone, I think his real name is Adrian, but as he came from yorkshire and followed the traditional greeting of "Ayup," all his workmates nicknamed him, you've guessed it, "Ayup."

However this greeting is a little infectious and they started to adopt it amongst themselves. When they greeted Adrian, of course, it became,

"Ayup, Ayup!"

Here's a Londoner who grew up with the spelling "Wotcher". Sometimes got the response "Why? What's she doing?"

I think "Wotcher" might be pretty universal, although I don't know how it is spelt.

It reminds me; "Jamaica?" No did it by herself

I taught with a guy who was on a one-year teacher exchange from Yorkshire, teaching Physical Education. One day he came into the PE office and asked "Where's Eric?" When met with numerous denials of knowing "Eric", he kept asking "No, where's Eric?" After quite a bit of questioning from other staff about Eric, no-one of that name being at the school, he finally said, "You know; Eric to rek the long jump pit!!!"

Apparently years ago, the OMO packet used to sit on the laundry window sill, letting the milkman/baker know the the Husband was out, Old Man Out. Occasionally it was known for the packet to be turned upside down, letting the lady next door know the wife was out, Old Woman Out.
