@MrBurty5 Awwww, it's nice to see someone else who knows that video! I discovered it about a year or so ago and it's been one of my favorite videos ever since! Isn't she just lovely? ^_^
while our older generation consider themselves yorkshiremen, the majority of middlesbrough associate themselves with teesside and the north east (I know I do). I have never heard a smoggie pronounce "in the car park" as "in car park".
I was talking to a Swede in the late 80s about the glottelstop ( sorry cant spell it) . He was amazed because he told me that it was also used by country folk in old Sweden and has only recently died out. Do you think there a link to the Vikings with this dialect ?
Middlesbrough still is in Yorkshire/ North Yorkshire. However it doesn't fall under the EU region "Yorkshire and Humber", it is in "North East England" instead.
The presenter is wrong to say m'boro is no longer in yorks as it is in the ceremonial county of north yorks, same as york. I totally disagree with Nuclear Snail the Middlesbrough accent has much in common with a large part of northern yorkshire, I regularly go to Middlesbrough from where I'm from in Thirsk and the accent is much the same, certainly more yorkshire than geordie. You can occasionally detect the county durham accent however.
I think the middlesbrough accent is far too distinctive from a generic yorkshire accent to be grouped under the umbrella of yorkshire. I would argue that it's far more similar to a geordie accent with a bit of a scouse edge.
We are the guilty party. This is a short version of our 'Yorkshire Speech 1', meaning we have cut the Mr Robinson's talk into just the 'car park' part in order to present a Yorkshire accent. Actually it is the part where he says, "So instead of saying the word the, speakers will make a noise in the back of the throat, its called a glottal stop, they will say t. continue..
..2nd part; So, for instance, where in other parts of the UK and in standard English, you will get on the bus, in Yorkshire you will get on t bus and the word the becomes a t sound. And again, this is something that if ever a native speaker of British English hears somebody saying on t bus, in t car park not in the car park, then they will immediately associate this speaker with Yorkshire or possibly another northern county like Lancashire." Everyone, spot on, well done!
We posted a reply to your comment yesterday. Cannot see it. YT has many bugs and it is one of them. Some comments come up several days later just on a comment section which is difficult to spot. We wonder others may have lost for ever. We will try to comment again next week.
Good news! We have changed our programme schedule for our own channel, kaiwanoshima, on our server, not YT, which is on our YT profile. We are going to edit a Yorkshire Speech Special and will show it in January 2010 because we liked the comment very much. Hope you enjoy it.
I'm from Asia and I've been to Yorkshire, paticularly Middlesbrough and I loved it. The people are polite and civilised and I think those few wayward londoners should consider bringing up their children here. It's a beautiful place and I think more people from around the world should be here alongside London. Oh Britain, I miss you.
Interesting! One of our own American friends has made a similar comment off the record. And we have told Mr Robinson about that. He replied, "That's the first!" I suppose that it should be the other way round ie Australians might sound like him. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Thank you very much for your comment. You may be hitting the point concerning the current situation in Whitby. As we had prepared our filming trip to the area, we were advised that there should not be many people who were originally from Whitby. The gentleman you are referring to was born and raised in Whitby. However his parents did not speak 'Whitby'. But the point of the film is to present an example of 'typical Yorkshire accent'.
im from northallerton and i sometimes get asked if im fromm manchester as our accent is half boro/half rural yorkshire and must sound slightly manc for some reason
excuse me, my attention is to british actor Mark Addy. I heard his own voice a lot of time recently he is from York but his accent is different ....I don't know how I can put this I mean I heard different people from York but Mark Addy keep different accent definitelly. I think he did to ruin this one playing for years in USA changing his own accent to american one.
I will give him credit: When he played in the Full Monty, he put on a very credible Sheffield accent. Robert Carlyle did ok, but was still a bit mild.
BTW, in the film 'Brassed Off', many yorkshire folk were used as extras and in bit parts. Their accents were natuarlly enough quite strong, so they were dubbed in the US version of the film.
Historically it was part of North Yorkshire, in 1968 the town became the centre of the County Borough of Teesside, which was absorbed by the non-metropolitan county of Cleveland in 1974. In 1996 Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority, within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
This is a comment to Google. The location for 'Whitby' on the Google maps is wrong. It should be near the position where we put the balloon on the map for our trailer video 'Yorkshire Accent'. Of course it is difficult find the exact point in this way.
Middlesbrough!!!! To be honest I don't think we sound Yorkshire at all.

So, technically, it's 'in the car park', just that 'the' becomes a t sound.
Because writing 'in car park' just doesn't seem to be grammatically correct.
