I had an e-mail from dear Melanie of Anthropomorphica
today. She quoted a bit of Yorkshire humour, which I
must put out to a wider audience because it seems she and I have a similar
sense of what’s funny.
"Some people are like slinkies: good for nowt, but they
make you smile when pushed down stairs"

I enjoy this comment. :)
Britain enjoys regional humour characteristics. This is typical Yorkshire - something to do with Viking blood, I suspect. Liverpool, on the other hand, is more a mixture of self deprecation and the friendly insult. Maybe that's to do with their genetic mix of Anglo-Saxon, Welsh and Irish. It's similar where I come from, which is about fifty miles from Liverpool and had close ties during the Industrial Revolution.
