East Midlands. According to wikipedia it's a Derbyshire/Leicestershire term. I was raised around Linc's/Nott's/Leic's.

Colloquialisms have always fascinated me. I think it started when you're a kid and met other kids on holiday from all over the place. They'd ask if you wanted to play a game which you'd never heard of but when they explained the rules it was a game you had a different name for (and even some more rules but the principle of the game remained). For some reason we ended up calling football "togger" when I was growing up. "Are you playing football" morphed into "lecking togger?"

I find it funny to look at the dialect even on a local level. For instance the pronunciation of place names. There's an old money type town in Nott's called Southwell. The local dialect would pronounce it Su-thle, but some folks can't bring themselves to speak so commonly and insist on South-well. Like a class difference. I guess like most folks I never perceived myself to have a dialect or accent but it's not untill dropped in a relatively foreign area that locals point it out.

You got it the wrong way round its south well but the new money that's moved into the area insist on calling it suth_ all ....drives me fecking nuts I'm close to there as far back as I can remember my grand parents called it south well and we are common as muck lol....and Newark has a language all of its own gearah! but your right the Nottinghamshire accent is a lot thicker than we realize people not from around me always pull me on it .

Lol. Residents of Southwell do pronounce it 'proper' and as it's all old money that's why I call them posh, all other Notts folk call it suthle, like Norwell is norrel and Rainworth in wren'uth. I was probably being unfair to suggest that Southwell is incorrect, it's how the residents pronounce it, just doesn't seem to fit with the broader notts dialect.

 

I dated a southwell girl a few years back and she'd give me grief for my working class pronunciation. LOL.
