Us Yorkshire folk are a special bunch - and don't we just know it.
From the superiority of Yorkshire puds to our characteristic stubbornness, these are the 20 things you'll only understand if you come from God's Own Country - otherwise known as Yorkshire.
Yorkshire
Southerners are baffled by the way us Yorkshire folk use the word "tea" to refer to both our evening meal and cups of tea. One of our magical powers is always being able to tell which is being spoken about too.
Speaking of tea, all Yorkshire people know that the only drinkable stuff is our beloved Yorkshire tea - nowt beats it.
Your friends aren't just Mr, Miss or Mrs in Yorkshire - they're "our Sarah," "our Steve" and "our Sharon." Adorable.
We'd shudder at a southerner calling us "darling" or "sweetheart," but in Yorkshire being called "love," "duck," "chuck," or "pet" somehow feels completely acceptable.
As a kid, it was a right of passage to point out THAT house on the M62 as you drove past it - the one where a Yorkshire farmer's typical stubbornness forced builders to lay down a motorway around his house.
Your childhood seaside trips were spent frolicking on the sands at Scarborough, Whitby or Bridlington and wasting pocket money on 2p machines - bliss.
While it might leave others baffled, when someone asks us to "turn off big light" we know exactly what they mean.
Harrogate's too posh, Hull is grim and Leeds is much better than Sheffield - Yorkshire folk love to squabble amongst each other, but when it comes to outsiders we won't hear a word against any part of our beautiful county.
You probably threw up on at least one ride at the Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley theme parks, but it was totally worth it.
