Yorkshire fittings are the "mean" looking ones and sound funny and miserable, the female ones are particularly ugly looking, comes with yokshire teas.

Yorkshire fittings are so named after a specific manufacturer when in fact other manufactureres make them too. I presume Yorkshire must have been the first to patent it (Chris R will know)
Normally means they have integrated solder in the fitting hence the proud ring, whereas end feed fittings will need solder to be applied

absoultely correct, I can vouch for this, with some first hand experience with these yorkshire types.

mean, ugly looking bunch, realistically, they have now been superceeded by better models.
