I don't say Pardon. It's common. Or so I was taught by the nuns.
I say, "Sorry?" because obviously it's my fault that I didn't hear/ understand.

Mum and Dad say Pardon. I come from common stock.
In fact Mum doesn't realise she is also losing some of her vaunted hearing, and blames it on Dad's mumbling. She will say Wha?! when she's cross. Or even A?! (short a as in actress) to show she can't even be bothered to use a full word.

Infi, if someone offers you something in the UK the standard polite answers are Yes please or No thank you. Between mates, Cheers is a good stand in, or No, I'm okay thanks.

Uh, yeah, I was employing sarcasm. I need to stop doing that with so many brits around.

We learn yes please and no thank you right after we learn sarcasm.

I can't speak for Hebe's little friend's upbringing. Maybe he was just confused at being offered some of your bacon butt.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the canadian bacon, please.
