suppose it's like us saying 'mate' all the time.
thats a preston thing 
i say pal sometimes but even my misses calls me pal 
I talk more like a farmer due to my best mate being one and spending alot of time fixing his peugeot with him

To be fair, people from Worcestershire tend to speak with this Brum/Welsh/Yam/Farmer train wreck of an accent. I'd be more worried about that than someone saying pal.

That might be due to the obese people that live there !
Is a higher ratio of obese people in scotland then there is in the USA.
Big chap !

Always thought pal was a scottish thing. Much better than 'mate'.
