The use of "thou", though dying out in Yorkshire, is still found
among older people. It is pronounced "tha" eg. "Tha knows its time
for bed". There doesnt seem to be any social connotation. People
who still say "thou" use it to anyone they are speaking to, family,
friends, children, borough surveyors, the Queen, anyone. Shame its
dying out.
