Manchester and the `u’ (mud): “Wipe your moody shoes.”

In James Herriot's book All Creatures Great and Small, a veterinarian who comes to work in Yorkshire finds it difficult to understand the local dialect.

The author, whose real name was James Alfred Wright, was born in Sunderland, in the region north of Yorkshire, but grew up in Glasgow. The book and its sequels were based on his own experiences as a country veterinarian in Yorkshire.
