:**********************************************
Madge is chatting to the artist, as Harold searches for shells on the rocks behind them. She’s asking him about his work, and looks around and waves at Harold. He waves back, and she starts chatting again, telling the man that his painting is very good. He says that she can have it for $150, postage home included, and she’s tempted but says that she’ll have to ask her husband. She looks back to the rocks, but can’t see him. The artist says that those rocks are dangerous, and the two of them go over to look. He says that he’s going to call search and rescue, but Madge insists that he must be there somewhere. She bends down and picks up his glasses from a rockpool, and screams out his name.

Just a few that I've come across where I've lived at various times (and not definitive/complete if anyone wants to disagree/add/clarify):
Barm cake - parts of Lancashire
Tea cake (not the fruited sort) - parts of Yorkshire
Cob - Birmingham
Batch - Coventry
Roll - London

Sorry Mandy,
Just goes to prove my point though!
I know there are more local variations but I've forgotten a few.
