I don't have the 'proper' Yorkshire accent, my Dad does being born in Leeds.

I was brought up In Harrogate so have the posher accent

We have some friends in Barnsley, their accent can be annoying sometimes!

My accent isn't half as strong as it used to be, I miss it tbh

Bloody southerners diluting it.

I think I've quoted the right post, and I'm guessing they are the same video [Yorkshire airline one]. I can't check at work so if I'm completely wrong then I fail.

I did look through but must have missed it, worth 2 posts though

North Yorkshire is wonderful, and quite different to the rest.
I couldn't think of a better place to grow up as a kid.
Not been to Harrogate my self though, as I grew up Pickering (a small market town for those that don't know.)

I miss home

Travelling past Leeds was grim, but once we got to Bridlington and that was nice, Bridlington was like a smaller version of Blackpool, Whitby was a very nice place to go, nice and clean and plenty of history.

Nah, Blackpool is awful, Bridlington is nice.

He said Wakefield not Bratford

I don't have a problem with Wakey. There are many worse places even in Yorkshire. They did live in Kettlethorpe though if memory serves so I'm not all that surprised.

I lived in Kettlethorpe for a bit, Stanley for a bit and Normanton for a bit, and my parents lived just out of the city which was terrible. (Near Marsh Way House and Lightwaves for those who know the area). that's where I lived for about 17 years and it got worse when I moved out.

My parents have just moved to Alverthorpe which is quite nice, and there are some other nicer areas, Wooley, Sandal, etc. However my theory is if you have to say 'the nice bit of (insert town here)', then really, it's a dump.

Where abouts? Did you get to go to any pubs there?
I used to hang out in the Black Swan and the Station.

I lived in Normanton for 23 years, and now live about 5 minutes walk from Lightwaves. Small world.

Isn't it just!

I could see Lightwaves from my bedroom window when I lived with my parents. Can't remember where I lived in Normanton :/

I work on Marsh Way and I've never found it all that bad, though it is close to Eastmoor. There are nasty bits of any city, Wakefield's being Belle Vue, Kettlethorpe, Alverthorpe, Lupset, Eastmoor, Portobello, Peacock... and then there's nice bits like Wrenthorpe, College Grove, Outwood, Sandal, Thornes...

I love Leeds but there's a lot of scuzzy places, I hate Manchester and there's a lot more scuzzy places
