Ah Yorkshire, God's Own Country, this great and beautiful land! We love Yorkshire but there are certain things that people outside of our great county just don't understand and things we didn't even realise were local to us until we started meeting outsiders'.

1. There are many types of rain up here.

2. But we do have the best tea etiquette!

5. It's best to always prepare for rain, even on the hottest days

6. Be sure to turn the lights off when you leave the room!

7. We enjoy the confusion on outsiders' faces!

9. Well there is another way - Put the wood in the hole = close the door! Being asked if you were born in a field was a classic follow up question.

10. Twerk or t'werk is NOT to be confused with the dance move but instead a place where we would go to earn a living.

12. And finally, here's a challenge for you...

Have we missed anything off our list?
