Newcastle, OMG! Newcastle. A few years ago, hubby & I were going through customs at Heathrow. The older customs agent didn't skip beat asking us if we were "taking an interpreter" when we told him our next stop was Newcastle. Since we'd been in Newcastle before, we immediately got his point. I speak a couple of languages in addition to (American) English, but Newcastleonian isn't one of them. It's just too hard to learn!
Many years ago, we went to the Isle of Wight, and the people there talked like we hear pirates taking in movies.
