I only became familiar with 'stotties' when I lived in Newcastle. True to my southern roots, I find them realy quite unpleasant, so am pleased to learn that they have not yet penetrated as far south as Oxford. Honestly, the thing about the north is you lot just don't know how to make decent avocado dip </Mandelson>

Oh, and 'ginnel' is one I've known for a long time, but it definately not a southern word - can't remember where I first heard it, probably when I was in Lanacaster.
