My Mistress!!
A Harley?!
What were you thinking..? Obviously been at the drinks cabinet... AGAIN!?
Have a word with yourself! Wouldn't be seen dead on one. Not for love nor money.
A rice-burner's what you want. 100bhp for 600cc's & all that...
Laaarvely!!

Knew it! Toying with my Snuggles' affections like that. Shame on you
An wots wrong wi' maaa spellin', huh?
As you insulted my ancestors I thought I would treat you to this little ditty I found in The Geordie Songbook by Frank Graham
A-U Hinny Burd
It's O but aw ken weel,
A-U hinny Burd,
The bonny lass o' Benwell,
A-U-A
She's lang-legg'd an' mother-like,
A-U hinny Burd,
See, she's rakin' up the dyke,
A-U-A
The Quayside for sailors,
The Castle-garth for tailors,
The Gateshead Hills for millers,
The North shore for keelers.
There's Sandgate for auld rags,
An' Gallowgate for trolly bags:
There's Denton an' Kenton,
An' canny Lang Benton.
There's Tynemouth an' Cullercoats,
An' North Shields for sculler-boats;
There's Westoe lies iv a neuk,
An' Sooth Shields the plyece for seut.
There's Horton an' Holywell,
An' bonny Seaton Delaval;
Hartley-pans for sailors,
An' Bedlington for nailers.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Don't quite see Shaggy releasing it as his next single BUT South Shields got a mensh - it does not segregate it from other Geordie towns
Anyone for a verse of Rotaree, tiree?

You're such a talented man bbb. You knit, you cook - do you sew too? I'm sure your "puddings" are lovely
Why do you want to know which bit of Yorkshire I'm from? Are you going to accuse me of not being a true Yorkshirewoman now
Snags - how about sending me a picture of your bike?

bbb - Gotcha, down to a T. I think!
Read back through all your clues and finally came up with it. Took me some time this time around - your best character yet! Do you still Yahoo? If so, you've got a lot of catching up to do (hint).
Snags - call off the dogs - this is one of the good guys. If he's who I think he is!
Gash - As all my Geordie ancestors are long dead, it matters not. But thanks anyway. I'm White Rose through and through

Mistress,
Being a "Pudding" maker myself, from Gods County. (Central North Yorkshire). I am interested in 3 things:
1 How many eggs per Mug of milk/Water?
2 How much Flour? (This IS a trick question!)
3 How hot should the oven be? (At The start)
These 3 questions will truely clarify your "Yorkshireism"
Clean
PS: My Pudds are based on my Grandmothers technique, and have been acclaimed as "Better than mine" by my Yorkshire born Mother-in-Law!!!! Some Accolade!!

Scope
Any tyke worth their salt knows that REAL Yorkshire puds are cooked in lard in a coal fire oven.
I tried making them in the tin boxes supplied to RAF quarters laughingly known as "cookers". These are tin foil and wire contraptions put together by school boys in their science lessons. They cannot reproduce the exquisite puddings made in coal fire ovens. As a result I tried using garlic flavour oil to cook the puds in or chucking a handful of chopped fresh herbs into the batter to disguise the "electric oven" taste. If you really want to swap recipes, e-mail me. There is a thread on Jet Blast about student food - most of the contributors are blokes
I'm from the Socialist Republic btw.
The Mistress bites!

I think I'm having an identity crisis...I need to lie down on a couch in a darkened room watching football on tv 
Purists would say that 'real' Yorkshire Pudding should be substantial and eaten as a course on its own with gravy.
I prefer the airier kind made with plain flour, egg, half milk/half water. fat should be very hot...oven hot. Perfection.
Hmm...almost missed that...Socialist Republic? Does this mean South Yorkshire? Scargill country perhaps? Or am I completely off the track?

No - he's eliminated himself from the puzzle. Are you in Gutersloh? I am assuming, of course, that this is all for a bit of fun.
The alternative is that you're an unpleasant little teenager with a big chip on her shoulder?
