What's the difference between a kangaroo and a kangaroot?

One is an Australian marsupial, the other is a geordie stuck in a lift.

Did you hear about the Essex paramedic treating a girl who had been knocked down?

That would be West Midlands. The East Midland accent is how the Queen wishes she spoke.

I had a scouse manager once, luckily didn't see him very often.

He was always immaculately turned out, smart suit, sharp haircut, he'd come up and say something like, hows it going roto, and it sounded like a death threat

Useful phrases

Wassama'er......(What is wrong)

Wassup.....(Hello)

Sor'ed (either a flavour of crisps or I have achieved all I want to at this point in time)
