fixed.

Think I use both terms actually but never “chip barm”. Just sounds wrong.

I always call it a chip butty, regardless of the shape of the bread ; )

At home yes but when buying from a chippy it’s whatever is on the board.

I think I already mentioned this years ago on this thread; from the late 70s through to the mid 80s, someone had graffitied ‘chip barm’ in yellow paint on the brick wall of the real Old Trafford, by the Warwick Road entrance. It never failed to amuse me and my dad when we went to the cricket. It disappeared when the ground was redeveloped and that wall came down.

If there isn’t enough conflict in the world we need to get this sorted out once and for all (it’s a barm by the way)

It’s called a batch over here. I remember mishearing a colleague and constantly asking for a bap as not to avoid confusion.

You have to wonder if other cities are this divided. I myself would say barm for Manchester.
