Also use of tense
My wifes family are from the North East and it seems to be a thing up there that they don't use the correct tense in conversation.

it's a real manchester thing to say "i was"
"i was sat over there", "i was stood in there"

my mum used to say to the kids in her class, "who sat you there?"

Eventually it gets filtered into written language.
But I know what you mean.

"So, she says to me, blah blah blah, and then I tell her...."

Cock-er-neys are always engaging me with their witty banter and laddish anecdotes with
"So, I've go to her, right.....and she's gone to me....."

I hate that.
