proberbly get slated for pointless post but here goes :wink:

coming back form burnley today ithought i fancy a sandwich and pulled into this layby and stoped.

went to the van and he asked me what i wanted.so i told him bacon and egg.

the next thing i know he comes out with**“do you want that on a barm”**spelling.so i asked him what’s a barm is and he showed me a cob.
so whats the diffrence between a barm and a cob?
is this a lancashire thing and is there any other local words i should look out for?

Forget all this barm or cob rubbish.Or if you live in Yorkshire,which I now do,a bread roll is a teacake!! But real men eat Stotties.

Ask any of us Geordies.

A teacake is similar to a barm but has sultanas and currants in it and you toast it and have it for your brekkie.
