Re "knocking you up in the morning" - this goes back to the days before alarm clocks and when folks had to get up really early to go to work in the factories and mills.

Aye but in Scotland "a close" is the staircase of the tenement.

Nobody has mentioned "nappies" yet - diapers, right? I first heard that word in the movie Love Actually. Another word I learned from that movie was knob/nob - male sex organ.
