"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.

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