Hey You lot have weird way of talking sound like someone off emmerdale crossed with someone from Manchester!! And what do u call a bacon sarnie? Was it a bacon barn

[Norman Verona]

It's because they have a pier, Jeff.

I'm off to see Jamie in the morning.

Now how about this for a co-incidence.

I found my rocking horse poo aka injector pump. It's in the next village to Jamie.

I couldnt understand what she was saying anyway but it sounded like barn   I knew if it had bacon sausage and egg in it should taste all right though        

[Norman Verona]

having spent about 15 years travelling around the UK I used to know all the terms for a sandwich and the derivatives. In the south it's a Roll, in the midlands it's something else (Que Mr Stanton), in the north it's a barm cake.

What is it in Geordie land Jeff?

[Blatman]

In the south it's a Ciabatta (Italian soft roll), or a soft roll or bap or if you want something hard... a crusty roll or a baguette (which is a long french bread "roll", although in Soho asking for a french roll in the wrong place is an entirely different ball game...)

I had a bacon barm meself this morning, with a cappuccino. Cappuccino is a frothy coffee with chocolate sprinkles. Latte is a milky coffee, and of course in France, and posh english restraunts, créme anglaise is custard.

When I get back tonight, I'm having pizza, which is round, thick cut bread with stuff on top...

[JeffC]

we call it a bacon sarnie      

I used to get to derby a fair bit and first time I was asked

do you want a" egg and bacon cob duck " I wondered what the hell she was on about  and why call everyone Duck                    

[Norman Verona]

That's it - Midlands, it's a cob.

It's what makes this country great - we all call the same thing a different name.

Good job you didn`t go into a chippy and ask for peas in your order as you can get , and I kid you not, `pea-wet`. They take a strainer ladle and dribble the green pea water over the top of your chips. Never come across it anywhere else apart from Wigan.

Wigan kebab = 5 meat pies on a stick  

Wiganers balanced diet = a meat pie in each hand

In Wiganese the statement 'summat ta eight' does NOT mean 'the approximate time of day'
