    spelk - splinter
    pumps- plimmies - plimmsols

    trollies - trousers
    baps - boobs
    undercrackers - underwear (mostly male)
    greenies/snot/boogies/ boogas

    when i first moved oop north with the OH (who is from up here) there were loads of 'differences' but 14yrs on i don't really notice them now. I just tend to 'go with the flow' depending on where I am and whom I'm with!

    Oh yes these posh people from cheadle :QUOTE]



    Snappin is what my bil says, snappin indeed, it's food man.

    Fil uses the word muffin - that's a side plate to me and you

    Master is another one - being man/woman (teacher) I think

    Hubby says loads of words that I'm sure don't exsist

    Wom - home

    fost - first

    bow - ball

    Where's it to? - where is it?
    Dreckly - in a minute
    Proper job - pretty good
    Ansum - great
    Maid - girl

    I also tend to say truck instead of lorry, which confuses the Los.

    I am a southerner and apparently a posh one at that

    I say sitting room for lounge according to my mother lounges are in airports.
    Barth not bath
    Parth not path
    My children say they were sat watching tv, not sitting drives my mother mad

    We eat lunch and dinner not dinner and tea. Although considering we left London 20 years ago I have picked up quite a few northern expressions, like paddy for tantrum and dodie for dummy
