Terms Of Endearment

[Jay_Jay]

There's this girl. She comes from the Midlands (Birmingham)and I'm in love with her. We keep contact over the internet and I want to greet her in her local idiom. Can you play a vocal coach Cupid and give me (a Southerner) a clue how? Phonetic spellings accepted ! Thanks!

Hello my darling, all is well with you I trust?
The weather is a little inclement here.

You are the light of my life my sweet!

Living south of Birmingham I seldom here anything remotely like the three previous answers. If I were you I would speak in my own usual way, she might decide you are taking the mickey and dump you otherwise

Eye up cocker ! Does thou drop 'em ?

A lot of this is sounding very Lancashire. Come on guys, get it right. Cocker is from up north.

I can narrow it down. Dare I say? OK, it's West Brom. And she's still lovely.
