When I met Mr woo he told me his parents had a hotel in the Dales - it was apparently called The Book ....................I though WOW - what a great name for a hotel. Turned out it was The Buck.
I have since become bi-lingual
I became confused by the double "o"
Many southern commentators write " oop north" and of course to us it's the same sound as hoop. I suspect that we are meant to say "ap north!"

Stockton-On-Tees
My Uni campus was in Stockton and I could always hear in the Stockton accent an ever so slight Yorkshire twang.
I played for a pub darts team in m'hometown. When I moved oop north I played league darts and was amazed to play on a treble board. They pronounce it "threble!"
When I first moved from Clydebank (a few miles West of Glasgow) to where I am now in Lanarkshire (pretty much the same distance East of Glasgow) I had trouble catching everything that was said in a Lanarkshire accent.
Twenty plus years later.....I now have no problem.
