11 things everyone in South Yorkshire will understand:
White Rose
There's only one rose we're interested in, the white one!
Tea is a daily essential
For most people in South Yorkshire, it's not blood that runs through their veins, it is tea. Or perhaps gravy...
Everything tastes better with gravy
Chips? Chuck some gravy on them.. Sausages? Chuck some gravy on them. Pie? Chuck some gravy on them. Pancakes? Chuck some gravy on them. You get the idea.
The breadcake/teacake debate
None of this bap, roll or cob nonsense. You're guaranteed to start an argument across the country.
Blackpool Illuminations
Whenever there are one too many lights on someone will claim that it's like 'Blackpool illuminations'.
Getting told to put your big coat on
Picture this: you're just about to leave the house with your Mum, she checks out the front and sees ONE CLOUD. Next she comes parading back into the house demanding you put your big coat on even though it's the middle of May.
You miss the Tinsley Towers
When they were ripped down everyone was shocked but before literally no one cared that they were there.
Yorkshire puddings are essential for a Sunday dinner
Homemade Yorkshire puddings are the real test of your Yorkshire roots. If you can't make your own then you should learn!
Feeling like you know Yorkshire celebs
We love our celebs Jess Ennis? She lived near me. Sean Bean? I've eaten in his nephew's chippy in Sheffield. No one really cares but you tell them anyway.
Your accent will get stronger if you’re around anyone else from the region
It doesn't matter how far away you move from South Yorkshire (but let's be honest, why would you?) or for how long, your accent will ALWAYS come back within 10 seconds of being in conversation with a fellow Yorkshire.
It is breakfast, dinner, tea!
This varies across the country, but the only correct description comes from South Yorkshire. It goes: breakfast, dinner and tea. Anyone else's opinion is wrong.
So that’s all the things we think are the true epitome of South Yorkshire in all its glory. Can you add anything else?
