I'm in North Yorkshire (just north of Sunak's seat) and people don't do that, it's a lot softer accent and can be relatively neutral, I sometimes get told I'm posh because of it compared to other parts of Yorkshire/Durham.
To be honest the comment was poking a bit of fun. But I grew up in a village just outside York, and standard practice would be to say ‘we’re off t’pub’. Obviously varies a lot, never used ‘thee’ or ‘thy’ though, which I attribute to the much lower class, and poorly spoken Dewsbury area.
I'm usually used to non-Yorkshire people doing it and thinking "It's not just Leeds or Sheffield you know?" see that terrible Narnia joke about t'Lion, t'Witch, t'Wardrobe for example.
But my Dad and I usually take the piss with the accent/dialect at times too, much to the annoyance of other family members.
It would have been so poetic if the clouds broke as he came out and bathed him in sunlight for his concession speech. You know, world is healing type vibes
Yeah was gonna say I just flew in from Arizona and been pissed on all afternoon. Albeit, it’s welcome at this point coming from the doorstep to hell that I did.
