    town where i was born is Kingswinford(K’ford) which is between Dudley and Wolverhampton(Yam Yams) now live in Barnsley(Dingles)according to Sheffield folk(Dee dahs).

    One thing in common with them all is that it is based on dialect differences between these relatively close towns which is why I think local accents are great for the banter if nowt else

    Amazingstoke?????? Must be irony, my daughter and her mates call it Basingrad, which suits it much better.

    Now in Herts where a local francophile has been going round with black tape changing signs for Barnet to Barnét.

    i was at Munich station the other week and struck up a conversation with some girl. asked her where she was from and she said “Hamburg. Hamburg City, Germany”. oh, as in Hamburg, then?

    i’m from Thurrock, Essex. i’m told that thurrock used to refer to the cesspit in the old sailing ships. not sure if it’s true, but would be quite apt.

    currently living in Munich, which in german is called München and refered to by proper Bavarians as Minga, which is nice.

    We used to say Shepton Mallet as if it were a French name. It’s fairly amusing.
