Last time i was in Stoke, no, the time before that.

I went into a cake shop and bought a barm cake, and the woman behind the counter said, "alright Duck".

Let me tell you right now, there were no ducks in that shop.

Never been back since. Apart from the last time.

a tom o'connor observation in bolton (i think)...

a man goes into his local shop and says, (phonetically) "have you got any turps?"
the shopkeeper replies, "yes.  would you like audio or video turps?"

One of the most distinct regional variations is in how we describe those.

In London, they are called a "roll", or "bread roll".

In the East Midlands they are called "cobs", which in correct usage can mean a horse, a man swan, iron, a bad mood or chunter "he's got a cob on", or any number of things.
 
Elsewhere they are called "baps", & baps are often the subject of double entendre's, referring to lady's breastage.

Local dialect is quite amazing, really.
 
Sadly, the wireless has become a bit silly, as the BBC seem to think we should listen to regional dialects, so we had to try & translate the likes of Andy Kershaw* for years, speaking northern-ish. Clearly, all announcers & the like should have a London accent, like HM The Queen.
 
* - What a sad & strange story Andy Kershaw was. Enough rambling, carry on.

sausage on a bap has quite a different meaning North of the border.....

One of the things that amazed me when I did my end-end walk was how rapidly local accents/dialects changed. Literally every day there was a noticeable difference, gradually morphing from North East Scottish to broad Cornish over the course of 43 walking days.

The biggest daily difference I remember noticing was during the stage from Stone to Walsall (which was walked with a sore head after a heavy night with Maxally in his local boozer .

In Stone the accent was very similar to that in Stoke. By the time I stopped for lunch in Hednesford, just 17 miles away after crossing Cannock Chase, all the locals sounded like Jasper Carrot.

I mentioned the changing accents in my blog that day....
