They also say "not it" in Mansfield instead of "isn't it" and don't try to buy a bread cake or you'll get some very strange looks!

Bread cake = cob

Cow = something like caaaaaarrr

 

My OH is from Nottingham, so don't know whether they use all the same words, but the worst is 'Sucker' which means ice lolly!!!!!

Fost = 1st, the O appears or is substituted quiet a lot in spoken words.

 

Bod dot = bird dirt (poo)

 

That one took me a while to work out when I first heard it (my parents lived in Southwell for a number of years).

Did you know the fish bar is where they caught England's most wanted man back in the 60's, Donald Neilson AKA The Black Panther.
