Now I'm back in the Midlands, some people think I might be Italian (I lived there for 14 years).

Still quite a lot of Anglo-Saxon/Viking influence up here with many towns and villages having Viking names. That's to be expected because at one time Yorkshire was part of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria which stretched from Doncaster right up to the Scottish border and became controlled by the Vikings whose capital was at York (Yorvig).

Yorkshire has very strong accents and they differ immensely within miles.
Judd, LQ and myself could understand each other quite easily.
Barnsley accents are weird and bear no relation to human life.
