OK, I have one I learned today. In Wales, skipping school is called 'mitching', but in Scotland (or at least thew Glasgow-ish part I come from) it's called 'dogging'.

Any further observations?  

[ficklefiend]

Dogging, Tee he he.

We call it skiving, although I don't know if that is an english word we picked up.

Bunking off. I've never heard it called anything else-- except skiving, sometimes.
