Police have just released details of a new drug craze that is being carried out in Yorkshire nightclubs.

Apparently, Yorkshire club goers have started injecting Ecstasy just above their front teeth.

Police say the dangerous practice is called "e by gum"

I think I can get it....eating a carrot ...18 carat.

I knew a couple of guys once in the Army from Virginia...one of the original colony states. They had a very mild southern to neutral accent...until some words came into play. For instance the "ou" sound. If they were saying "about" it would come out "a boat". And "out" would be "oat". Otherwise...they talked ordinary American.

The Yorkshire dialect will probably be lost on our American cousins I live in Yorkshire and it takes me all my time to understand it.

We have a lot of shrimpers that come down from the Outer Banks of North Carolina during shrimp season. They have been secluded there from colonial times to just recently. Nearly the same accent. I've got so I don't have to ask them to repeat it again before I understand.
