Where ever you go, and hear talking or you get chatting to someone, you know straight away if they have Yorkshire in them, by the greeting or expression voiced. Been places many a time, and heard someone say 'Ay Up! 'ow you doin'? and hearing them talk Yorkshire. Or 'Ow Do mate'! which is mostly what I've heard expressed by men to greet someone they know. Still nice to know our regional sayings haven't been wiped out! Heartshome 💖

Not sure if this counts? Located in a stream towards the bottom of Carter Hall Lane near Town End, past Charnock Hall school. Photo taken from Facebook..

A Dutch friend of ours is also reyt fluent in 'Sheffieldish' after spending so much time here over the years. I still find it an amusing to hear his combination of Nederland accent and Yorkshire dialect.

Na den Heartshome On a trip to the Ancient City of Ephesus in 2001, the Turkish Guide showing us around the site said you're from Sheffield in England aren't you. How do you know that! You speak English like my Lecturer. The guide said he spent 2 years at Sheffield University.
