    I always assumed 'piece' was Scottish and I've heard 'snap' in Lancashire, but its not specifically Northern as its never used in Liverpool.

    Happy birthday Keiss! :T :T :T :T Hope you feel well enough to enjoy it :) (and that you managed to wash your hair with due elegance! :D)

    I'm from Liverpool-ish and had never heard 'snap' until a boyfriend used it - and he was from Stoke!
  • Happy birthday Keiss! And hope you got your hair washed and had a good but restful weekend.
