You guys 'only' have to worry about is it a Muffin or a Barm-cake. I have always said Barm-cake.
Try living down here people dont even know what a butty is ! Let allowed a barm-cake. I have to remember to say sandwich !.
When we first moved down saff in the 60' mum and dad left me with a neighbour for the day. I was about 6 when my parents came back about 4ish they asked me what I had in my butty. I said i didnt have one, Why ? I kept asking for a butty but the neighbour wont make me one. My parents went round to ask her why they hadnt fed me, turns out the neighbour couldnt understand my 6 yr old manc accent and didnt know what a butty was !
For years at easter when visiting grandparents in Burnage, when leaving our parents would load the car up with barm-cake and vimto as you couldnt buy those in kent. You still cant get a proper eccles cake down here , but that's another thread lol
