Not quite as "refined" as the queen, I tone it down :)

I lived in Yorks for a time and had trouble understanding what was said. Went to get bread and the woman asked "Cooked or uncooked?" I was stunned for a second then realised she meant cut or uncut.

Then on the to the butcher who said something with 3 different possibilities:

1. There was a fire in the town hall
2. ? the ? fare (bus) to the town hall
3. A fight in the town hall I was clueless, just said "oh".

I friend stopped to ask the way to someplace and the local pointed and said "Turn right at the robot". That turned out to be traffic lights. Couldn't wait to return back south.
