Back home, in the east of england
the slang is amazing

nowhere else have i heard people so euhm colourful as to refer to each other as chocolate bars

another common phrase was "erdit" or "erdit owbad" - the literal translation is, i think, "heard it" as in "ive heard that before" and "heard it how bad" as in ive heard that before and its a load of bollox

just down the road, the boyracers are referred to as "kevs" and in the next town after that, theyre known as "tezzers" - presumably making note of the fact that all the boyracers are called "kevin" or "terry" (must be a townie thing)

back in my home town, they used to refer to each other as "mipmop"

my dad is an expert at speaking "townie speak" - its won him a hella lotta respect from his class he teaches at the college.

if you want to experience this all first hand, go to boston, lincs. just dont say craig sent you; i managed to escape to bangor under the pretence of going to uni:)
