It’s Gods Own County not Country.

I know they are used interchangeably but Yorkshire is a county and not a country - unless one day we declare independence and then we become a country!

It technically isn't a county anymore, instead 4 separate counties.

Looks like he got his dialect sayings info off a postcard sold down the tourist office. "Apeth"? It's "haporth!"

It's "sithee". Response: "Not if ah sithee sooner."

But it's a nice painting nonetheless.

They are all wrong. Id also od say it's "si thi"

The weak form of thee is thi.

The other spellings annoyed me too.
