I used to say goose pimples.

Then I got Australian-ised and became used to goose bumps.

Solution to anguish: Goosey.

Re the original topic, I'm from the southwest too, and it was definitely pimples.

I think that Flesh is an American version isn't it?

Argh ! It needs to be multi-choice.

Goose pimples for being frozen nearly to death.

Goose bumps for being ....... thrilled & excited.

So Mr BEVS says anyway.

I was brought up on "pimples" too (family from Yorkshire), but twelve years living on the dark side has left me with "bumps" being my reflexive default.
