"Freeway" is most definitely not a Monty Pythonesque term, and it's certainly not something a proper Yorkshireman would ever say.

True. But MP used that wording on their North American album and, I think, at their Hollywood Bowl performance too.

I guess they were translating for the locals.

There's nawt t'be doon about it. So don't go "poncing off te Barnsley."

I grew up in Barnsley and, although it occasionally causes me some embarrassment, I wouldn't want to come from anywhere else.

I hear that Barnsley is a good place to be from, - far away from.

It would certainly be good to think that you are far away from it. From your point of view, as well. They'd skin you alive, they don't like tossers in Barnsley.
