I was asking some drinkers to keep the noise down last night in the Brass Monkey on Drummond Street.
Just to let the people hear the questions in the money round.
They were nice about it and fairly compliant but the interesting thing was that they justified their being very loud in the first place by telling me that they were “from Yorkshire”
I think Yorkshire is one of those places where people genuinely think they are better than everywhere else, despite a lack of solid empirical evidence. Or that somehow being from a particular place makes you lovable and popular and brilliant.
Other jurisdictions whose people fall into this trap (in my limited experience of the world and it’s concentrations of location-fuelled hubris) are: Australia, London, Glasgow, Ireland, Newcastle, The USA, Italy, Greece, Liverpool, New Zealand.
Am I right? Or sorely misguided? Let me know.
