I love colloquialisms and have a couple of queries from threads this week. Where are from if you say
"Removed pen from my kitchen bunker" and is bunker what I might know as a worktop? Scottish term? Also "I've 2 Christmas trees"or "we've a shoe cupboard in the hall" - which region are you from if you do the abbreviated I've or we've - I am in the Midlands and would say it is as "I have 2 Christmas trees" or even more cumbersome "I have got 2 .....
I love reading the differences and would like to know who says these.

Oh and one more - stotty or stottie - like a baguet or panini or similar? And where is this used please?

Ooh never heard the bunker one before (to me a bunker is like a hide out, a protected, poss underground room).

I'd say I have got or I've got.

East Midlands.

It's a scone - rhymes with bone, not a scone - rhymes with gone.
While we're on the subject, jam first then cream.

I say ‘I cruckled’ - where am I from?

Stotty (cake) is a flat oven bottom loaf from Newcastle or the North East generally.

I’m Scottish and only found out what bunker meant from The Views track by track thing about their songs. Their from Dundee so must be just a regional thing.

I’ve got two Christmas trees :)

Oops wrong side vb, sorry.

'We've' and 'I've' would be used in sentences like that in N Ireland.
