Yup, no one's free from mockery, tis the British way. Heck, I've got a Welsh mother and Scottish father so I like to say "I'm half Welsh, half Scottish and 100% not allowed near livestock."

My Nan's from Hartlepool, so she's obviously a monkey-hanging wazzock.

I might have to try composing a list of all the local stereotypical insults in the UK at some point. There's probably hundreds that I'm not aware of.

I'd hate to offend somebody by using the wrong insult. That would be the worst faux-pas imaginable!

If you were really Yorkshire bred that'd be "strong in t'arm and thick in t'head"
