Great night out, great laugh with my family, learnt about my uncle (Aunt's husband) from his brother in his strong Sheffield accent: "You looked at 'im wrong back in 'day and 'e'd be on 'yer like 'Rottweiler 😂
Apologies to the Uber driver who picked us up at midnight, adult men laughing and giggling like six year olds in the Uber, man was laughing so hard my throat hurt.

I do like that "No swearing" sign - oh that more caterers - and SW - would do that.
That's the first time I've seen a proper text version of Northern English accents. Usually writers add a "t' " as if it's pronounced, as I've often heard lampooned by they Londoners in I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue but not in reality.
@BritishFailedAesthetic I am so much a Southerner that I have never had to walk more than a mile or so South to get salty wet feet, but my parents were Midlanders and I have many friends in Yorkshire, and have often visited the county.
So have inherited slight accent traits and picked up a few constructions like the suffix "... it were"; and though a Northerner would identify me as a Southern native, some Down Here do think I am from somewhere Up North!
Wonderful things, the British languages and dialects!
