Although I haven't heard that in my trips up to that area.  In a 
business context it's certainly better than the alternative ending of 
pet.  "How are you doin' then, pet?"  Further South in Yorkshire it 
would be replaced by "love".  They are popular terms in their respective 
areas and, understood in that context, are expressions of friendliness 
but are best avoided when speaking to colleagues.
