[Arfa Sleep]

Mum

 

[Hbk69]

It's also used throughout Scotland. I'd never heard of the term Mam before I moved to England.

And Ireland.

 

[Cheesy Feet]

Or "MAR" is acceptable.

Correct.

Mum

What a knacker.

 

[The Fitter]

Mum

What a knacker.

Some of us aren't English, believe or not you "knacker"

Aye but this lad reckons he's from here. It's fine that the rest of the world are knackers, that's understandable

 

[The Fitter]

Aye but this lad reckons he's from here. It's fine that the rest of the world are knackers, that's understandable

Agreed. I'm a Scot who's lived here for 41 years so I'm way more English than Scottish now; & I support Sunderland even though they are a bag of wank

I'm not working class. My Dad was working class and he says Mum now as he knows it's the correct version now.

 

[Hbk69]

I'm not working class. My Dad was a miner and he says Mum as he knows it's the correct version now.

 

[johnnyat87]

I'm not working class. My Dad was working class and he says Mum now as he knows it's the correct version now.

Your Dad's a knacker as well then.

 

[marco is god]

I'm from Durham and Mum is correct, Mam sounds horrendous, like Nan.

Im also from Durham and I along with everyone I know use 'mam'

 

[ftm1971]

'mum'

 

[Mirzam]

This is up with the Alba thread, so your dad a working man has been persuaded, that mum is correct by his pretentious offspring, can you explain why mum is more correct than mam?

 

[Arfa Sleep]

I'm not working class. My Dad was working class and he says Mum now as he knows it's the correct version now.

I don't think there is a correct and incorrect way to address your mother, it's a completely personal thing.

 

[gazc24]

I don't think there is a correct and incorrect way to address your mother, it's a completely personal thing.

There is a wrong way and that's mum.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

There is a wrong way and that's mum.

I was trying to be nice but, you're right.

 

[Hbk69]

I was trying to be nice but, you're right.

It's sounds horrible and you will be looked down on for using it. Some Southerners use Nana and it's disgusting, it's not just a North East thing.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Ironic as he’s an Unreal player

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Looked down on from who exactly?

 

[Bonzo]

We should be in for him

We are, our bid was £3-42
