What we Americans must understand is that the word must be pronounced as rhyming with "woody", and it must be followed by "ell" so closely as to make it one three-syllable word.

It's best as a stand-alone ... or a pull-chord to start your brain

They've spotted a Penguin, happy & healthy, 60 miles downstream.

Here, as I know a man of your travel is aware, it rhymes most closely with muddy. At least where I come from.

And termed with hell it can even become a two syllable word. Best rendered as "blu'll".

I have to watch my mouth in polite conversation, because despite the fact that neither of my parents swore in front of us growing up, some of Mum's phraseology is very rude. Especially the simile "like/ as... buggery". I know I've mentioned it before. Not knowing exactly what buggery was, it seemed quite natural to say things like "burnt to buggery" or "bled like buggery". In her defence, she didn't mean it in a literal sense either - at some point, someone in her past must have used it as the ultimate extreme. Maybe Cousin Tommy who was shut up in the glasshouse during WWII for stealing from his superior officer and going AWOL to be with his knocked up girlfriend (!)
Crims in the family; I got them.

Thanks Bruce, I missed that.
Penguins. Bless.

You're in Yorkshire now Sundae, things are different now

muddy rhymes with woody now

That was great hah.

The lass on the right reminds me a bit of my eldest niece. Always makes me smile when the girls slip into a broad West Yorkshire accent. So different (to a Brit's ears - for others the two may sound similar) to the Lancashire accent.

Though my own accent has drifted towards Yorkshire after so many years here. I don't hear it in myself til I have to go back to Bolton or Manchester for a visit.

With the legacy of the Civil War in the news, this is interesting:

Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times, once said that the perfect newspaper headline would be 'Sex change vicar in mercy dash to Palace'.
The rationale being that you get sex, religion and Royalty all in one story.
This report is a good runner up.

Driver stopped with sheep in car tells police 'I was taking it to McDonald's'
 

A motorist in North Yorkshire who was travelling with a sheep in his boot tells police he was taking it out for a meal

Police who stopped a motorist were stunned to discover a sheep in the boot (trunk) of the car – which the driver claimed he had taken to McDonald’s for a treat.

The incident occurred in North Yorkshire when officers from the local roads policing group stopped the driver of a Peugeot 206 on suspicion of driving with two bald tyres.

But when they looked more closely at the vehicle they notice an unusual passenger in the hatchback boot of the car, a fully grown sheep.

When questioned why he was travelling with the animal in a family hatchback the motorist explained that he had taken it to a nearby McDonald’s restaurant for a meal.

A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Police said: “He told the officer, ‘some people take their dogs in their cars, I take my sheep’. He [the motorist] just wanted to go for a drive-through at McDonalds.”

The driver is thought to have been stopped shortly after a visit to the fast food restaurant at Leeming Bar services on the A1 in North Yorkshire.
