Don’t know if this is a Sutton saying but as a kid, if I left the door open letting in the cold my Dad would ask “ do you come from Warsop?” Apparently folk from there leave doors open 😆😆
Keith Waterhouse's 'There is a Happy Land' is a classic kids story but set round Leeds & Wakefield. I think you may be confusing it with Alan Sillitoe's short stories collected under 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner'. Although set in the 40's and 50's, these convey Nottingham as it was then in terms of language and events. One story is based around a match between Notts and Bristol City -I think it's called 'The Match'.
On my way to join the Navy ( September 79 ) , a lad came up to me on the train after hearing me talking ' a up yoth ,yo from noternum '. Never thought I had much of an accent until then.
Mekaste is certainly a good one for wanting someone to hurry up. Heard that many times.
Here's a few others;
Supping - Usually referred to when people are drinking alcohol. "E spends all is time dahn the pub supping"
Corporation - Name for the Local Nottingham green/cream buses (when they used to all be just that colour)

Slab Square - The Old Market Square in front of the Council House

Aspleh - Aspley

Top Valleh - Top Valley

The Macc Lads (Macclesfield) had a song that included the line "Sup up lad, I've spilt more ale down me waistcoat than you've supped tonight." A lot of the words and phrases mentioned will probably be used in South Yorkshire and into the North-West as far as Manchester.
