Round here it's rough, it tends to be:

What you lookin' at?

Seriously, there isn't one as such, the odd female might address you as cariad, but it's fairly uncommon nowadays.

[Ann]

I know two elderly people where the husband says lovingly to his wife "come on baggage" - she is so used to it she never bats an eyelid!

[DaisyNonna]

In Bournemouth was addressed as Milady. Nearly swooned in front of the gorgeous young man.

[horseshoes]

Here in North Wales it's Del, Del Bach or Cariad.

[emmie]

Have been to Cornwall many times, but the first person to say my ansome was a lovely bloke at the ticket office, and as i hadn't heard it before, thought it rather charming, and i still do.

[notasyoungasiwas]

When I was newly married my husband used to call me dumplin'

[emmie]

can't bear someone calling me dear, grates on my nerves. Nor ello luv, not really, it's so familiar, when you don't know them

[notasyoungasiwas]

I love Judge Judy !

[maggiebee]

In N.E. Scotland it's quine (girl/woman) or loon (boy/man)

[welshlibranr]

In the valleys of South Wales it's butt, or butty, meaning friend/mate..........found this so confusing at first, as in Cheshire a Butty is a sandwich!...........
