Live in the NW - Warrington, spent two months in London, 8 months in Stoke-on-trent then back to warrington (stoke use the 'Duck' too)

I use a few:- Love, fella, hun(ny), babe, bird and there is most prob a few more...

Love: is normally aimed at the old ladies

Hun(ny): is aimed at the younger ones

Fella: is aimed at men, that I don't know; really but do? or I can't remember there names at first till i've chatted to them for 5mins and then remembered.

Bird: I call the missus this every now and then (its a personal joke between us)

Mucker: is another one, normally call my son by this.

Down here in Dorset the greeting seems to be; "Allroit moi luverrrr".

Well that's how the farmer's wife in the end cottage greets me anyway...

Leicestershire (where I originate) is duck, or me duck. Annoyed bar maids generally go "Quack Quack" at you, well to me anyway...lol

Now I'm in Surrey, no idea. Been here 10 years and still no one speaks to me.....
