Even though I've lived in Lancashire for 15 years now, I still have problems understanding some of the words that are used up here.

When I first came up here, I heard barmcake now where I come from that is a roll, teacake to me that is a toasted teacake and on and on and some really weird words and sayings that you just don;t hear down south.

Going slightly off kilter, gravy on chips?? Unheard of down south and I thought was disgusting but oh so good now!
