At home in the black country (so called because everything used to be black from soot), sweets are called 'suck'. And a sweet shop is called a suck shop. Though I'm not convinced our US friends even call sweets sweets - they might call them candy.

And here you can see someone going through some more black country-isms - like 'donnies' for hands:

Thumbs up
i'm from Philly. we have some local words like "grinder" for what i think most of you would call a "toasted sub" sandwich. i think "yous" (as in plural "you") is a hallmark of Philly too. we pronounce "water" "wood-er", not "wah-ter."
here's a video of a woman who is both from near the neighborhood where i grew up and has the accent most people i know have:

Was there a big Irish connection with Philly? A lot of Irish people pluralise 'you' to 'youse', and they do it in some places on mainland UK too.

If you listen to Dorian Yates talking, you get touches of the Midlands accent. He's from about five miles away from these guys.

that's cool, i didn't know that. yeah, there's a very big Irish connection here. Irish and Italian are traditionally the 2 big denominations, but my neighborhood -- Mayfair -- probably has the biggest concentration of Irish-Americans in the city.

East Anglia, where I'm originally from, did use the term Dannies for hands "Are your dannies cold?". I think they still use it and the term is from the glove that was worn when drystone walling, the glove only ever being worn on one hand which was called a Danny (Dannie).

Tried to find some basic spoken Orcadian words but came across this...I don't sound like this
