Well, it's not Naples. But yeah, my SO lived in Dublin awhile, traveled around the British Isles, and discussed the difficulty of acquiring bagels. Also discovered there's, like, one mohel in the British Isles, as friends mentioned having to fly him in for a Brit milah.
The weird thing about using Yiddish slang is, you tend not to think of it as "yiddish." The Old Barracks Museum, in Trenton, NJ, e.g., used to sell a shirt that said "Washington schlepped here." It was hilarious to those of us from North Jersey/NYC, made sense to some visitors from Philly, and pretty much never sold to other tourists or locals.

ETA: Also, I think as non-Jews, we're uniquely qualified to discuss the pervasiveness of Yiddish in different locales. ;)
