The term 'anyroad' is a common dialect word in northern England, whereas 'popotoes' as far as I know is just a made up word. Anyroad is a word that is used really really often where I am from in Yorkshire.Â
A person might say something like "Oh the slugs are eating my lettuce again, I am sick of it of it! Anyroad, enough of my  complaining, what are you doing today?"Â
It is often used to follow a statement that was somewhat negative in an attempt to lighten or change the mood.
