yet another snippet of useless information to occupy a few brain cells.......

On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at
If you're British you will probably have heard of this song, but not know what the Baht 'at means.
Other nationality's will be at a total loss :~) 

Listen to it being sung by the Skelmanthorpe Male Voice Choir  OR this version by some locals "~))



This popular folk song from Yorkshire is sung in the Yorkshire dialect, and is considered the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire. It's jokey sort of song about a boy courting his beloved on Ilkey moor. He's not wearing a hat and she chides him saying he'll die of the cold winds up on the Moor.
Read the lyrics below to see what happens to him !
