Gareth Hale and Norman Pace do a brilliant send-up of the Yorkshire dialect and people with their "Yorkshiremen" character's, in this sketch from 1997. Here they complain about the fish they've ordered in a swanky restaurant.
A massive round of applause for all the Yorkshiremen who have come on here and not taken offence.proper grown-ups unlike so many others out there crying like bairns at the drop of a hat.
I didn't just not take offense, I loved it. The reason is because it is an exaggeration of the truth. Micheal Macintyre's gag for example about replacing "the" with " t' " is not funny because that is not how " t' " is used, it means "to the" and "the" is replaced with an upward inflection on the end of the preceding word. No one should ever be offended if the joke is true, only if falsehood is ascribed. I find that occasionally people like having the piss taken out of them for their quirks. Also don't try to compare SJWs with mentally equipped individuals, it's an insult to the vegetables.
This perfectly represents the problems I faced with customers having worked in the service industry. Oftentimes we would get people that would be infuriated for one reason or another for some sort of transgression or issue on our part, or something they had received wasn't to their liking, now of course they assumed that I knew the issue and of course usually I didn't . So instead of coming in or coming to me and simply explaining the issue calmly so that we could proceed amicably, they immediately come to me flying off the handle ready to basically punch me in the face.
I used to serve tea to people and half an hour they would complain it's cold! I wasn't afraid to tell them that's what happens with tea after 30 minutes
@@siliconbong9386 Ireland is terrible for people complaining about the length of time. I was told by the manager to never say "within 20 minutes" when people asked how long it would take to come out because they saw it as a long time? That's one of the big things that I see here. Over exaggerating things
@@siliconbong9386 Noooo. I deal with serious complaints with guests and time when I had time to check CCTV most of the time the guest was way off. The same goes for placing orders with a waiter who then straight away puts it through the system, who then complains that they've waited 40 minutes. When we look into it its about 20 mins. I actually print a copy off to show the customer in case it escalates after I apologise about the delay. My comment above was from when I started there about eight years ago.
Three of us from work had to go to our depot in Cleckheaton, the canteen breakfast was only £1.90, we were told a Yorkshireman would not pay more than that!

Sadly with the state of the world and all the permanently offended pussies and cancel culture we live in, the show probably would be considered to risqué in current climate which is sad. They were absolutely brilliant
A little lad was sat on a bridge crying his eyes out, when a copper came along ,''what's up son,''he said ''Me mates fell in t't river, with that the copper stripped off and jumped in ,after 20 minutes ,he climbed out, covered in mud, ''i'm sorry sonny, i can't see him, how did he fall in'', the little boy replied '' i was just taking a bite of me sandwich ,and it slipped out''.
I'm Sheffield Born and Bred and love it when People take Piss out of our Accent and Ways. If you can't have a Bloody good laugh at Yourself then whats the Point of Being on this Earth. I want more
These guys were around 30 years ago and they brought shock comedy to British TV they were way way way ! ahead of their time, They microwaved a live cat On there Sunday night prime time show, it was a stunt but the British public did not see it that way, they had some protection from the special branch (armed police ) as they and their families had many death mainly from the animal liberation front Who acted like a poor man's IRA and were really pissed off ! After the sketch was broadcast on national television Their next show that was broadcast the following Sunday had record viewing figures. Around 15 million Where they reacted this stunt this time with his week old baby son Just stopping short of placing his son into the microwave and smiling at the camera before the sketch ended. They were very naughty boys, Forget Monty Python these guys took it to a another level and really pushed the envelope. Parents used to make sure that the small children with tucked up in bed by 10 pm before they went downstairs to indulge in watching the show I can still hear them now Pissing their selves with laughter.
The last time I went to Australia, it looked like you could be walking around in Asia! The Australian culture (if they ever had one) completely diluted and hardly an native Aussie in sight!
I'm a Yorkshireman and I do speak a bit like that. However, I do know about grammar, and the word 'characters' in the publisher's comment shouldn't have an apostrophe. So there.
I think without realising it, sometimes I do often say the ehh ehh after a sentence lol. But at least I don't repetitively keep tapping my plate with a knife!. 😀
This is the forerunner of Catherine Tate's shocked northern couple. DRIED SHITAKE MUSHROOMS??!! Shitake mushrooms - dried! I'm as open minded as they come but theres no way I'm eating something with dried shit in t'title.
