We call them bread rolls or teacakes where I’m from originally. But after moving to the northeast I was forced to call them “bread buns”. And apparently a teacake up here has currants in it. Minefield.  |

It varies of who or where I’m shopping, get the dialect wrong with one member of the family and territory war ensues
So sometimes it’s a bap, barm, roll, cob or even a muffin depending on its shape. Anything crusty is just a crusty roll
Thankfully they all agree tea cakes have raisins in |

Yep a tea cake is a sweet thing you toast and put butter on. Sort of like hot x bun. |

"Cob  "
A cob to me is a flat round loaf and I’ve only ever used it one way.... break in half, take out the middle and fill it with fish & chips and scraps on top.... childhood memory from visits to the seaside with grandad |

A cob round here is when someone phlegms up in their mouth and spits it on the floor  . |

It is where I'm from.. But where i work you have to ask for a 'currant teacake' , otherwise you get a plain 'bread bun' (like who ever heard of a toasted bread bun..!!) |

No I didn’t think you would have! I can imagine the type of clientelle who partake in this sort of behaviour. I spend a lot of my teen years on the streets of Crosby! |

Reading that back it sounds really bad. I don’t mean “on the streets” in that sense.
Just that I partly grew up there in my teen years! |

Meant the other way around anyway. Trackies into socks . |

Definitely one of the nicer parts isn't it? According to a family friend who brags about it anyway. I'm South Liverpool though so don't know that much about the North side. Other than to stay out of Bootle . |

Toxteth isn't so bad these days. Wavertree has some dodgy parts but it mostly students in others. |
