Dave M: The use of "our" was found in the North East as well, though some people were genuinely surprised to find that the wife of one of my colleagues in Newcastle didn't have 'Wor Lass' on her birth cerificate.

Again also very common in Yorkshire.

I've been "aaahr Robert" to family members all my life, and despite living in London and Kent for over 30 years I still refer to my brother as "aaahr Andrew" when talking about him with other relatives.
