Is it true that the saying 'Yorkshire man born and bred, strong in t'arm, thick in t'head' is specific to Yorkshire, or is it used in relation to other counties as well - as I heard it related to Dorset recently?
Other nicknames are Devonshire Dumplings and Wiltshire Moonrakers. Not sure about the first, but the latter comes from the legend that a Wiltshireman was found trying to pull the moon's reflection from a stream with a rake.
