Yorkshireman's motto

The Yorkshireman's motto is an important motto and sums up what us Yorkshire folk think of the rest of Britain
it goes as follows;

You can see all
'ear all
say nowt

You can eat all
sup all

and pay nowt

An' if tha ivver does owt fer nowt
allus does it fer thissen
and to cap it all

If it's not from Yorkshire,
It's shite

The Yorkshireman's motto can be used only by folk who were born an' bred in Yorkshire

Jim' "Alreet, 'ere stick that on thy pie"
Bottle o' hendos = Bottle of Henderson's Relish

Henderson's Relish

A favourite among Sheffield folk alike and superior to Worcestershire sauce. Henderson's Relish is 'The spicy Yorkshire sauce' invented in 1885 by Henry Henderson and is made to a secret recipe that's still kept under lock and key and is still produced in Sheffield to this day.

"LIKE WORCESTER SAUCE, BUT ONE MILLION TIMES BETTER"
Matt Helders, Arctic Monkeys

THE SPICY TABLE SAUCE MADE IN SHEFFIELD SINCE 1885
Splash it on pies, in stews, over chips, cheese on toast and more. Henderson’s Relish is approved by the Vegetarian Society as suitable for vegans, and is gluten free.
