Its Christmas time in Yorkshire and the Bin men Knocks on a woman's door to see if they will get any Christmas money for emptying the bins (I know!) So the first bin man knocks on and asks if everything was alright with the bins over the last year. The woman says "Yes" invites him in takes him up stairs and fuks his brains out. He goes back to the others and tell them what happened. The next bin man knocks on and asks if everything was alright with the bins over the last year. The woman says "Yes" invites him in takes him up stairs and fuks his brains out. He goes back to the others and tell them what happened. Finally the driver goes for his gift knowing what he is really going to get. He knocks on and before he has a chance to ask her how the bins was all year. She opens her purse and give him a fresh crisp £5 note. Shocked he protests "You didn't give all my mates a fiver how come you gave them something else and not me!" " She holds her hands up and says "I am sorry!, I am only going off what my husband told me to do. He said if the bin men come round asking for a Christmas gift I was to give the driver a fiver and fuk the rest"
Bloke from Barnsley goes to a sculptures and says "I want a golden statue of mi dog." Sculpture - " d'ya want it eighteen carrot?" Bloke - "Nah, chewin' a bone's fine."
Angie H Home A bloke goes to a sculptor, could have been Yorkshire I don't know, and said do me a sculpture of my two pet spaniels . The sculptor says, 'do you want them mounted?', he says no, side by side will do fine.
Here's one from Yorkshire, my mates Dad had to have carers look after him for awhile. He begrudgingly agreed. They'd do their usual jobs. Making a cup of tea, prepare a sandwich. Perhaps a spot of hoovering. One day they'd finished up and asked him if there was anything else he needed, he replied 'front door could do with a clean' lol owt for nowt.
In our current climate, this is politically incorrect. Indeed, it is 'Yorkist.' However, I am from Yorkshire and I found it just really funny. If we can't laugh at ourselves, might as well pack it up now...
Two old yorkies sat on a bench outside a pub in"t dales one sez "t' other see this landlord ere in this pub he's fiddling us in" t next village you can buy a pint a pie an a mucky woman for a five t'uther old lad sez aye but who's pies are thur!!! 😆😆😆
@The Bike Bodger No that joke is about extolling the characteristic of the inbred Yorkshire misogyny, and that goes back much further than any general strike, come to think of it, it goes back further than Wigan!!
Funny stuff and all, but we're 'tight' in Yorkshire due to being treated like serfs for centuries and having to endure poverty. And as to the accent, a lot of it stems from our Viking ancestors, and how they spoke. I used to take it all as a joke, but try saying these jokes about anyone else; about how they speak, or their way of life, and you'd be arrested, so all in all, I'm just jaded by the humour.
I was sat back to back at a dinner with this guy once, seemed he wanted plenty of leg room which had his chair hemming mine (and therefore me) up close to the table, I (being a pleb with no big ego) thought it rude to ask for a ittle room but even ruder that he knew it was happening and cared fuck all about it, it's a minor gripe but quite telling and sadly even typical of these 'man of the people' types in their everyday lives
