I often see posts on here where people use 'Mom' instead of 'Mum'. I always thought Mom was just an American thing and I know some Americans use these boards. However I see it often enough to wonder if there's parts of the UK that use Mom not Mum and it's not just the odd American on here? I know that 'Mam' is a thing in other parts of the UK, but I had no idea 'Mom' was. Can someone please enlighten me?

thenewaveragebear1983 Probably! But I'm guessing from your username you're 4 years younger than me....

I'm actually (whisper it) from Knowle. Was hoping I'd see someone else on here excited about Back in Time for School being filmed at Arden.
