FabSwingers.com forum: Is this just a Geordie thing?

Looked all over today for a Mothers day card with Mam on it. Couldn't get one anywhere. Always called her Mam, but it's all Mum, Mummy, or Mother. Is Mam a northern thing? Or is it nationally used?

I haven't heard people use 'mam' down south.

Would moonpig be an option?

Loads of cards in Wales with Mam instead of Mum. Mam is a very Welsh thing.

Instead of mum? She might be a bit offended by that.

Very northern thing, really don't hear it down south. I know C's mum bought a card that said "Mom" by accident up in the northwest, but don't think she said about Mam
