[i]Start the food thing and we're going to end up discussing drop scones and pancakes, crumpets, swedes and turnips, rolls etc. [/i]

I hadn't noticed this for well, all my life, but i use "stay"
I'm sure I've heard 'stay' from Northern English too, and come to think of it also 'stop' for the same thing.Anyone corroborate this?
More or less a Yorkshire thing to say stop instead of stay, but more for remaining rather than living. As in: "I'm stoppin' out while midnight." Note use of the Barnsley while.
Food you say! I've noticed that chips are always had on a butty.Yet everything else is had on a piece. However my favourite word is sybies for spring onions
[i]Gigot[/i] (pronounced jigget). One of the many words introduced through the Auld Alliance.
And then there's the Cant words like [i]barry[/i] (meaning really good). Might be a bit more local that one, though found Irvine Welsh's works

Mine too, but seems to be sadly dying out.
Have we done saying J as "Juy" like guy?
And fillum instead of film
Pure barry, ken
Oxter is another great word I don't hear often anymore. It's all about the pit now.
A hunnert!
One hunner an eichty
"See" in the sense of "Take, for example..." Or "Supposing that..."
"See him? See if he disnae pack that in? See that windae? He's getting fired oot it."

I stayed in Lochgilphead most of last year. I still lived in Wigan though.
"Stay" To my Scottish colleagues meant live, to me it means where I am / was on a temporary basis.Eg, "on holiday we stayed at the ocean view hotel"
Still use oxters
Simmet(?) for vest
Lowp(?) to leap
No ones mentioned the ubiquitous supper, as in fish supper. Mate from darn sarf still asks for a haddock and chip supper.
well worth a watch.....
@Paladin - My 85 year old mums been staying with us since she got flooded out on boxing day - she's a bit of a doric bore, and that's got her laughing for the first time since. Saving up the other parts for later!
Genuine thanks!
