A good source of Yorkshire dialect if you can get hold of one is Austin Mitchell's "Teach thissen Tyke" which has such classics as"oowashywi, washywiersen?"

I didn't likje the book personallymost of what he went on about wasn't dialect or slang, but pronunciation. Since this varies greatly even from village to village, city to city it meant nothing and for some reason I didn't find it funny.Mitchell is the thinking person's Ian Clayton(shudder)
