I used to work with a lad from Mansfield and he'd say "Y'arrate duck"

Too reyt. Mind you they're too slow in Barnsley from the amount of inbreeding so I dunno if they'd get down quick enough.

Oh god it's like scraping your nails down a chalk board. Summat I've always wanted to do but not been brave enough is when someone says 'alright duck?' Is to just start quacking back at them.

My own hubs calls everyone love in his husky south London accent and he doesn't have a sexist bone in his body. You can't be sexist and live with me for more than 20 years and trust me when I say that no one puts Jaxie in the corner.

..I will say that I listened to the radio article a little earlier and it is worth a listen to get context..I did actually find it very interesting because there are a lot of people in the work place who don't know their colleagues that well so it's about how confidence in what they're doing can feel undermined as well and can have a real effect on them...and maybe it wouldn't also apply to many people but it is worth thought though...
