Talking of Yorkshire, your tourist board don't exactly do much to endear people, or at least, that was the case when I was at primary school. We were split into groups in P5 and had to find out as much as we could about various parts of England for a school project to study and talk about. I remember being gutted when every other group's info packs came through but ours didn't and despite several requests from our teacher we got diddly squat. When my teacher finally phoned to request an info pack she got a right earful and told that they weren't really interested because they were too busy and slammed the phone down. I had no info for my wee project and had to go on what the teacher told me to say. Hated Yorkshire for the duration of primary school and funnily enough have never visited but I am sure that the people are lovely. Will need to go and see for myself I guess.
I have a soft, Scottish female accent. Not slang and easy to understand ......... even by Whiffey!
