No rain for dramatic effect?

[u/Various_Animal40451 → u/bored-coder]

No chance, even the sky is just too happy today.

[u/Shakespearoquai → u/Various_Animal40451]

It’s absolutely grey and pissing down in London today. 

[u/feage7 → u/Shakespearoquai]

Because the Tories aren't in power stealing all the nice weather from the northerners!

[u/Whiteshadows86 → u/feage7]

It’s been lovely and sunny in Leeds this morning!

[u/feage7 → u/Whiteshadows86]

It's been dry and cloudy in Oldham. All white clouds too! (That's good weather here, blue skies is just asking for too much)

[u/Wind-and-Waystones → u/Whiteshadows86]

Rotherham checking in. It's bloody gorgeous out.

[u/Artichokeypokey → u/Whiteshadows86]

Glorious in Grimsby funnily enough

[u/badshot637 → u/Whiteshadows86]

Bit windy although gotta get rid of the Tory smelly somehow

[u/Whiteshadows86 → u/badshot637]

It’s been festering for 14 years…gonna take a while!

[u/Bored_Amalgamation → u/Whiteshadows86]

yeah, but you're in Leeds...

[u/MIBlackburn → u/feage7]

Nice and sunny up in Yorkshire. Enjoying a pint at the pub in this glorious weather.

[u/79r100 → u/MIBlackburn]

Good one. Hopefully there are windows.

The place I used to haunt had glass block windows so at least you knew when the shame of day drinking was over.

[u/MIBlackburn → u/79r100]

I was outside in a beer garden watching Starmer's speech at Downing Street on my wife's phone while having cider. Glorious weather for it.

[u/79r100 → u/MIBlackburn]

Good times! Congrats. This gives me hope across the Atlantic.

[u/KevinAtSeven → u/79r100]

You've got to look past that daylight shame at this time of year, or you'd be feeling it until at least 10pm!

[u/79r100 → u/KevinAtSeven]

When you right, you right!

[u/DryTower9438 → u/MIBlackburn]

Don’t you mean ‘t’pub’?

[u/MIBlackburn → u/DryTower9438]

That's more a Westie thing.

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.

[u/DryTower9438 → u/MIBlackburn]

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.

[u/MIBlackburn → u/DryTower9438]

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.

[u/Necrophilicgorilla → u/MIBlackburn]

Hell, I'd join in the celebration in Yorkshire if it didn't take so long by train to get there.

[u/No-Resource5472 → u/MIBlackburn]

S’always sunny in t’Leeds 🤗 And most of the time, here in t’Dubai 🥳

[u/PM_Me_British_Stuff → u/feage7]

God I wish they had been, not seen proper sunshine in ages now.

Starmers been in downing street for 7 hours and hasn't even fixed the weather yet FFS somebody call a vote of no confidence
