Me dad's from St Helens (moved to Canada as a youth) and loves:
you've got a cob on: you're in a bad mood/sulky
Some of the ones the Wigan lady wrote sound hauntingly familiar as well.

Here's some good Northern ones!
'saw-reet?' - You alright?
'sup witcha?' - What's the matter with you?
'trouble ut mill' - There's trouble happening.
'giz a sken' - Give us a look.
'put wood in'th ole' - Shut the door.
'go lee lee' - Go to sleep.
'I'm spittin' feathers' - Put the kettle on.
Although not all of these come exclusively from the North, hope you enjoy them anyway, Me Cocker!
'Me cocker' - My mate!!!
