10 surefire ways to annoy someone from Yorkshire – Yorkshire Live

Yorkshire has a lot going for it, from the countryside to the fantastic range of restaurants, shops and of course the nightlife - we all know it's god's own county for a reason.

But if you're not from round ere', there are a few things you should avoid saying about Yorkshire or to anyone can proudly say they're from here.

If you say or do any of these 10 things, expect to be given a lecture on why you're actions are very wrong...

We had to start with the golden rule about tea. It has to be Yorkshire Tea.

We've very little time for any other brands - and while Tetley originated right here in the county, if you're going to offer a native Yorkshireman or woman a brew - make it Yorkshire eh! Just to be sure.

First of all, Yorkshire's accents are too diverse - Bradford, Hull, Leeds and Sheffield folk all sound very different - so don't generalise.

Also, when most people mimic the accent, they get it horribly wrong.

If you start to mimic a Yorkshire person's accent, you should fully expect them to mimic yours, too.

It'll be taken as a sign of disrespect.

In fairness, why do people actually serve roast dinner, especially when it's roast beef, without a Yorkshire pudding?

And just so we're clear, homemade is the only way to go.

It's just common courtesy, isn't it?

Especially on those absolutely boiling hot days, bus drivers have it tough. We rely on them to get us from A to B and unlike London buses, they're always on time. Well, that might be an exaggeration.

While it's not so common to thank the bus driver down south, you'll be considered rude if you don't when you're on our buses so learn fast!

Both festivals literally host the exact same artist, same stages, same food stalls, same beer stands - they really are mirror images of each other.

But obviously, Leeds Festival is better than Reading.

Reading is a great city, full of history which we can all appreciate - but who goes to a music festival for the culture? Unlike Leeds, Reading festival is held in the city and has a curfew.

Up here, we put our fest in a field in the middle of nowhere and let the madness commence!

Why would you want a dry plate of chips anyway?

People outside of Yorkshire actually find it strange that we put gravy or curry sauce on our chips and we just don't get why.

In our opinion, they are just afraid to try it.

Please, just stop it.

We don't all own flat caps and walk in fields with our whippets hunting for badgers.

Not that there's anything wrong with flat caps - it's just become somewhat of a stereotype.

Even if this is geographically true in some way, you are still wrong for suggesting this and will get an earful if you say this to someone from Yorkshire.

Whilst Sheffield might look to be in the midlands, if you want to be that guy who gets the map out and shows why we're factually incorrect, Yorkshire folk are proud northerners.

Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire is in the midlands - that, we can agree on.

Yorkshire? In the North, my son.

"I don't understand why people are so fascinated by him, he's an average actor".

First off, you're wrong. And secondly, Sean Bean is an outright legend.

His accent is outrageously Yorkshire and he retains it in all his best performances - even when he's playing a warrior, battling in Middle Earth and speaking to elves, dwarfs and hobbits in The Lord of the Rings, or when he's discussing CIA tactics with Robert De Niro in Ronin - that accent still shines through.

You would be hard-pressed to find an actor more proud to be from his county than Sean Bean is with being a Yorkshireman.

No, Notts County is not the oldest football club of all-time - that would be our very own Sheffield FC!

The club has officially been recognised by FIFA as the world's first football club and in 2004 they were given theFIFA Order of Merit an award given to only one other club - Real Madrid. Not bad company, we'd say!
