Was talking to an American mate who - quite reasonably - thought "Mom" was exclusively used in North America. Oh noo, says I, also used some parts of the UK. Seem to recall hearing "mom" used in the Midlands. I don't think I dreamt it. So...what did you call that long-suffering woman who put up with you when you were a kid?
We call my Mum, Mum, always have except in the eighties on a Sunday around 3pm we (well mainly my older brothers & I) called her Zelda. It was after she had wrestled with a roast dinner all day, she had this 'look' - also Terrahawks had usually just been on! I am making up for it now
I'm from the big smoke originally and always called my mum 'Mum' but I now live in Worcester and see it as Mum and Mom. My beautiful, witty and frankly smoking hot missus is from Brum and she always calls her mum 'Mom' which I've always found mental. I was also under the impression it was an American thing. So looks like I was wrong and it is a West Mids-ism. I'll never admit I'm wrong to her though (Ps ocassionally it's still Mummy... I'm not embarrassed)
