When you were little, what did you call your Mother and which part of the country were you living in?
The reason I am asking is because when I was young, I used to call her Mam although later it changed to Mum but my brother still refers to her as Mam.
We come from Manchester.
I think people in Wales and the North East would use Mam but wondered if you came from another part of the country what you would call your Mother.
prev speaking of horses hre are my tips for today..good luck if you have a flutter..

MarkRae I always thought people around the Newcastle area would use Mam.
I can't decide whether it depends where you come from, or how old you are.

I've always thought Mum sounds more gentle than "Maaaam", when shouted.

It's kind of looking like people from the South didn't use Mam, unless you can prove me wrong.
