Born and bred in Derby (in fact I spent most of ma life in a village about 4 miles north, and now live about 200 yards from where I was born), but I've always said Alreeeeet Yoth, or Ey up mi duck   |

I’ve been trying to think what our local greeting is but beyond “hiya” I’m struggling therefore I’ve come to the conclusion that I live in a very boring area linguistically.
Anyone else want to improve on my boring Dorset greeting? |

"Alright me duck - midlands
I HATE being called duck!
Same
I would rather be a duck than a hen."
My gran told me the story about her aunt who was English. She didn't realise 'hen' was really just for women. One day her aunt was visiting and approached my grans big brother and his friends with 'hello hen' he never lived it down. |

Judging by that avatar, there's more than one greeting that I could give you  |
