Glaswegians from Glasgow, Mancunians from Manchester...

People from the State of Maine are called Maniacs!

And Americans are "Yanks " .... that doesn't sound quite right !!

New Englanders (not the rest of the U.S.) are called Yankees or Yanks.

[wheeldon]

People from Haydock call themselves 'yickers'

There is even an off license called 'The Thirsty Yicker'...allways makes me chuckle...

Trust me to know that 

[Duck]

Wheeldon, why Yicker

[wheeldon]

I honestly don't know...my partner is from haydock and his family still live there.

I shall ask his Gran and see if she knows..but as she is in her 90s I'd best leave it until tomorrow

            Black Country folk are called Yam Yam's...but not by them

          I'm from Solihull now so I suppose that makes me a Silhillian.

[old rowley]

according to the website www.yicker.co.uk  "Haydock folk developed a dialect of their own and became known as Yickers, a derisory term meaning,..... of simple minds"

[wheeldon]

No, I thought it was a fruit 

hhhaaaaahhhahaa 

you don't know how happy that has made me Old Rowley...I read somewhere that St Helens (Heydock is in that district) is the most interbred town in England.....so this is just one more thing I can throw at OH when he is having a go at Mancs (Mancunians)
