Today is Yorkshire Day. Is it me, or does it seem to come round every three months? :D

Anyroad, the Guardian have done a Yorkshire Quiz. I got 8 out of 15, thanks to some lucky wild guessing .....

How do you fare?

I got 8 out of 15 - thought I had done better than that! Words like kegs and ginnel are used in Lancashire too.

I thought they were more Lancastrian words than Yorkshire. We use mardy around here so that's not confined to Yorkshire either.
I got 9.
