# No it isn't
'begs the question' means (or at least meant) to phrase the question in such a way as to answer it before it's been asked. To load it with only one answer or to make it difficult to answer sensibly. What you mean (whether you're in yorkshire or not) is 'raise the question'.

# My point was...
The woman who taught me english was from Yorkshire... and a simple soul.

So excuse my poor english at times... :P
