About Us
YERJOKINARNYER was founded in 2013 by family members Daniel & Nichola after the success of the Smoggie Translator featured on Nichola's 'Bridget of The North' blog.
The translator started with a few words and a request to fellow Smoggies for help to create a dictionary. It was extremely popular and within days, tens of thousands of Smoggies now in different parts of the world had joined in on the fun, submitted words, shared the dictionary & she was thrilled to receive many heart warming messages and stories about Middlesbrough’s history & our dialect.
The Smoggie Translator was featured on the TV, in local and national newspapers, in many online articles and on various radio stations.
After realising how many people proudly call themselves Smoggies, we decided to build a brand we could be proud of!
