Though not all rolls are barms.

Pretty keen on muffins and crumpets, but categorically any sane person would surely agree they are not barms (or barmcakes). It would be an unspeakable outrage to call a barm a muffin, (or an American muffin a muffin).

Barmy?

So I've been calling crumpets muffins my entire life. No wonder I've been disappointed in so many breakfast bars.
51 before I learn this ffs.

They're barm cakes in Chorley too. Some folk call 'em baps, but you have to be careful who you say "Is it OK if I just give your baps a squeeze to see how fresh they are ?" to, so I tend to stick to calling 'em barm cakes.

I tend to say the opposite to the ladies behind the counter with a glint in my eye & a cheeky grin, the older the lady the better the response.
The chicken shop is the only place that offers a better opportunity to become Robin Askwith or Sid James.

A cob is the thing corn (maize) is attached to FFS.

This is a cob, a crusty cob!
