My husband is from Manchester, England and uses all of those. He also occasionally needs a 'kip' when he's tired (nap), says 'summit' instead of 'something', 'nowt' instead of nothing. Also things like "I thought I gave it you back" instead of "to you". 'pissed' means drunk, not mad, and 'taking the piss' means going to far with something.("Well now you're just taking the piss"). The funniest thing is he says they think our way of speaking is invading them, and he would cringe when his teenagers said 'awesome'.
Also, 'thank you' is 'cheers' or 'ta', 'goodbye' is also 'cheers'-though he usually says "cheers-bye" like it is one word.
