A typical backwards and insular specimen from Yorkshire.

"...he was a model prisoner, taking a wide variety of courses, including assertive decision- making"

Dangerous thing to say from Scotland.
We all know that Yorkshire people are exactly like the Scots, but without the Scottish open handed generosity.

We all know what you lot are like in the border country. It's hardly surprising your neighbours are so careful to keep their hands on their wallets.

They've got wallets? Nobody told us.
Right Scotland it's your round and mines a really large one!
P.S. I know I have a wallet I saw it last year when I changed my trousers, it's currently bouncing against my ankle when I walk. Sadly my arms are too short to reach it. And for those that hadn't guessed I'm proud to have been born qualified to play for Yorkshire, in the days when we didn't let anyone but a Yorkshireman play. Mind, I was bloody useless at cricket, but there was a time when we weren't doing so well when I expected a call.

Presumably it was because he felt intellectually inferior...

He took a course whilst in prison; "Assertive decision making" brilliant!

I am an offcumden in this here border town, now officially only 4 or 5 miles from Lancashire after boundary changes in the 1970s. As far as the War of the Roses thing goes - I can Tyke it or leave it!

I know how he feels. Many years ago i had a job in a winebar/bistro in Cowling near Keighly. The place is 20 odd miles from Accrington so i rented a room in the village not wanting to drive home over "t'moors"every night. The place was scary,they all wore wellies in the local pub and they said i had a weird accent,and advised me not to get attached to any of the local females....or else!
Needless to say i made my escape home like that Yorkshire chappy did!

Can't be odder than Barnsley, can it? I have been warned on more than one occasion to keep out of Barnsley. Or at very least to keep the engine running.
Barnsley is a small enclave of wierdness surrounded by the greatness that is Yorkshire. Sometimes, brave Yorkshiremen go there in an attempt to civilise the natives, taking gifts of beads and other shiny things.
But not engines - they freeten us, tha nors. Or maybe it was just Asterix.
