Do any Yorkshire people know these: my dad used to say them when I was a kid.

 

"Tweet (pronounced t'weht) makes em poke em" Tranlsated as when speaking about chickens in the rain: its the wet that makes them scratch themselves.

 

"Can't ugga poke up a stee baht making th' rig wark?" Translated as: can you carry a sack up a ladder without making your back ache?

 

There were loads more but these are the only ones I can remember.
