Whilst I am from Southern UK, I live in the North East UK. Accents here are strong and vary quite a bit. DO NOT confuse a Geordie for a Mackem (or vice versa) at all! It is interesting that there is a lot of slang that I had never heard befote moving here, but slang from the South is more widely known. A coworker suggested getting 'ket' for a meeting. I did not know 'ket' here means sweets (candy)...
