Over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
verlaine's journal yesterday, a thread after my own heart sprung up. And during the course of it, I remembered the Yorkshire language test which I found in the back of a drawer last summer when we were clearing my great-aunt's house in Sheffield.
The original is typed (remember typewriters?), on a single sheet of yellowing foolscap (remember foolscap?), with holes developing along the folds. In itself, it's clearly an artefact of a long-gone time. However, for anyone interested, here it is recreated in LJ-poll format.
(Anyone who wants to play and doesn't have an LJ can mail me their answers. No cheating, where cheating includes but is not limited to: googling for answers, asking Gemma.)
( Take the test (long) )
