So if they’ve got a monk on (bad mood) you’re probably an outsider who has said the wrong thing to them.
Here are ten things not to say if you want to keep Chesterfield folk smiling...
5. "Where can I get a Bakewell tart?"
Derbyshire's much-prized speciality is a Bakewell pudding. It's made from rich puff pastry, rather than the inferior shortcrust pastry of the Bakewell tart which was developed as a variant of the pudding later in the 20th century Photo: Submitted
6. 'I love this part of Sheffield'
You've come to the wrong place - Sheffield is a city 13 miles away and doesn't have the lovely market hall overlooking New Square. Photo: Derbyshire Times
7. 'I'm not a Duck'
If you're called Duck, it's a term of endearment in Chesterfield just as 'pet' is in Newcastle, 'la' is in Liverpool and 'hinny' is in Scotland. Photo: Adobe Stock/Cyncoclub/Emmanuelle Bonzami
8. 'How is Chesterfield FC doing in League Two?'
This question hurts so much.....the mighty Spireites haven't been in League Two since the 2017-2018 season unlike their rivals Mansfield Town who have stayed in that league since 2014-2015! Photo: Submitted
