anyone have a link to the Python 'when I were a lad' sketch before all the professional Northerners cause mass head-scratching among our American friends?

Wasn't the "one o' t' cross beams gone askew o' t' treddle" the prelude to the infamous spanish inquisition sketch?
 
Now for something completely... um, OK, so what the flipping heck are Killtown and co going on about this time?

He doesn't see a picture of some burnt trees because the cameras are all pointed at the whopping great crater. He uses this as some kind of proof that the plane didn't crash.

Did anyone ever point out that Killtown may not be playing with a full deck? A sandwich short of a picnic? Not to put too fine a point on it, a loony?

Of course not!

If Britain and America ever went to war, we'd use your Yorkshire accent (as given above) to weed out spies and infiltrators. That's along with Welsh radio-operators, of course.

I grew up on the border of Yorkshire and Lancashire (on the western side), where the wars of the Roses are still being fought (although no one has pointed out that most of the lords of the land which now forms Yorkshire was supportive of the Lancastrian claim to the throne, the wars of the Roses mostly being a North/ South dispute, rather than an East/ West one)

Claiming I have a "Yorkshire accent" (even in type) is a much more grave offense than claiming that i am American.

Sir I demand satisfaction, we'll setting this in the traditional British manner, At dawn tomorrow, I challenge you to a duel- Warm beer at 50 paces! :D

Bleugh. You win.

You're up against Southern ignorance here. Everything north of the Watford Gap is Oop North to us. We're dimly aware that the War of the Roses is still being fought out on rugby and football pitches as well as in the odd drunken brawl, but for the life of us we can't understand why....

It's all a conspiracy by Holyrood; we're waiting till you tire yourself out and then we're going to sweep south again.

Brian Moore and Jimmy Hill are already on our "list" of political targets. And that f'in goalkeeper you had with the poofy pony tail.....
 
Trouble at the mill? Again?

My mother grew up in Lancashire, but her father's family came from London, while her mother's family was from Lancashire, so when I heard those Monty Python gags for the first time, I cracked up. Mom said the old guys talking about the "bad old days" was a lot like her rellies, too.

I use those lines on my daughter when she whines, as well.
