Barm or Batch ?

[Kurt.]

Spot on lolly ice it is, ice lolly sounds American to me.

Would you ever ask for a cream ice ? From the cream ice van ?

Van cream ice

Although asking for cream ice probably will mean you get what they actually supply, speed

And whilst we’re in the ball park, could someone please point out the M in BONFIRE ????

No I’d ask for a cornet.

Baps or Rolls innit?

For more regionalist opinion...

thick or thin gravy... ?

 

[Nymzee]

Not sure I’ve ever once heard them being referred to as batch before

Bacon roll if it's a bacon roll but sausage bap if it's a sausage roll in order to avoid confusion if they serve both sausage rolls and sausages in a roll.

I'm glad to have had the 'batch' thing explained, I heard it in a bakery once and assumed it was just the Scottish customer being rude to the girl behind the counter.

Skirting and frequenting wool areas as a kid, I would accept Barm or Bap. Nothing else. People who say Batch live in a mill town that is pronounced vastly differently from how it is spelled.
Cob is a different animal. It's crusty and can be used for sanding rust from your car.

Coventry folk use batch

I was thinking Barm cakes was a Liverpool thing as my mum always called them that.
Who knows?
What an interesting thread this has turned out to be.

Only heard it from Lancashire folk, but I only ever drove through the midlands. Didn't even make it to Stratford-upon-Avon to see the Shakespeare stuff.

Roll, I live in Scotland now, no one would have a clue about a barm or a batch.
