In North East Derbyshire (Bozer to be precise) packed lunch is 'snap' (tho' when I lived in Preston it were' 'baggin'.)
Time has a language of it's own, which I assume dates from days when precision was not important; so it would be 'nigh on afepast fower', 'just tonned three' 'abart quart to' 'five and twenty past'.
