The UK is like that as a whole, the accents and dialect can vary enormously in very short distances.
Even simple things like what people call rolls of bread can place people pretty accurately:

I call a small roll of bread a "bread-cake" because that's what my mom called it. My dad would call it a "morning roll". Now I'm an adult I can, and do, alternate between the two terms but I have a preference for my mother's term.
Some words I take my mother's terms and some my dad's. So I guess there's a blending from Scotland and Yorkshire. Now raising a bilingual child who is 50% Finnish who knows how he'll talk, and what he'll call things!
