What is the worst... British county? on 17:03 - Jun 18 by NthQldITFC
The origin of the term berk is apparently a contraction of the rhyming slang 'Berkshire hunt' (as in the fox hunting tvvats I suppose), so to call someone a berk is actually a bit more severe than one might imagine.
Signed: A berk.
Oh, and it's obviously Issex, and too bloody close.

Slight tangent but in one of the Steptoe films they're in a pub or club and one says to the other 'plenty of grumble in tonight'. Grumble & grunt.
The answer to the original question is pointless Surrey - suburbia, stockbrokers, mad colonels and Tories with a bigger majority than Alan B'stard

The county itself is fine.
I know a few Yorkshiremen and women too. They're good value.
But I've spent most of my time in West Yorks and South Yorks in and around Huddersfield and Rotherham. They seem sound but I don't know much about the rest of them.

I'm being mischievous, really. Recycling the old stereotype.
My Grandmother was a Yorkie even though she was born in Worksop. She was brilliant. She was brought up in Grimethorpe then moved to Lancashire and married my granddad.

How much time do they typically spend telling you they're from Yorkshire?

Haven't been to Grimethorpe but obviously know the name.
I really like the wit there. It's a dry, underplayed humour. Totally the opposite of Liverpool where everyone's a comedian but no-one's really that funny.
But I think the great strength of the UK is its regions and communities. I wish we made more of that.

Ye daft booger.
A propos nothing, here's my favourite Yorkshire joke. An oldie but a goodie:
A Yorkshireman's wife sadly passes away. He decides to have the words 'She Were Thine' engraved on her headstone.
He calls the mason, explains what he wants, then goes to see the stone a few days later. He takes one look and to his horror, finds the mason has engraved 'She Were Thin'.
He yells: "The blummin' 'e' is missing! Where's the 'e'? Tha's left the blummin' 'e' out lad!"
The mason apologises profusely, and assures the widower it'll be right on the day.
The day of the funeral comes. The mourners leave the church and head out to the graveyard. There, in the glow of the winter sun, is the pristine headstone. Upon it inscribed: "Eeh, She Were Thin."

Still one of my favourites from Viz...
