Date: 2008-04-12 09:52 pm (UTC)Interesting - there are a few things in the list that I wouldn't ever have said, and I'm born-and-raised only 60 miles away (as t'crow flies, ha ha...) - but many that I would. Can't be arsed doing the list myself - it would be largely repetitive. Only with added skiving, plimsolls, and bein' baltic. *laughs* I'm pretty sure the griddle-thing is meant to be 'pancakes'. Or dropped scones. Mebbie. :)
