I moved oop North 24 years ago. I'm a Londoner, South originally and then North (a subtle difference)-when I moved into my house (oop North) - I collared the milkman and asked him if he could deliver - he asked me muy address and I told him Butt Lane (in a southern accent) he scratched his head and said he'd never heard of it - (I was actually outside of my house and pointed to it) he then said ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Boot Lane - yeah I know

Stairs... we used to be sent up the dancers to bed. I always assumed it would be related to Fred Astaire, although I'm probably way off the mark 
Ah, ours was 'up the wooden hill to bedfordshire'

Fit like? = How are you?
A quine or quiney = a girl
A loon or loony = a boy
Sonty = Santa
Bunkie = Bank
I remember one (non local) woman being very offended when her son was born and locals kept calling him a bonnie, wee loony.
I love "furryboots ye fae?"
Hahaha, Furry Boots.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting a few online friends face to face. It was quite an experience considering there was Irish (really really broad), Scot (OMG WTH), we even had a Welsh person in the pub at random who joined in & then of course there was me, an Aussie. Well as you can imagine there was lots of 'say this'. lol

I thought it was Mam Gu pronounced Mam Gee. My ex MIL is of Welsh descent and she wanted my boys to call her Gu so they do
Yes VEGGIE that sounds more accurate
They also say, "That's tidy" for that's good LOL 
Loving this thread.
Erin, those vids had me in stitches.
LOL, so many regional accents in such a small space.

My dad used to refer to tarty women as 'gooseberries' - if something was broken it was 'poggered' and if as kid you were naughty you'd be threatened with 'a clump round the ear'.
