    OH, BY THE WAY....

    What I cannot stomach is the fact that here, a bread roll is called a 'batch'.

    A single bread roll.

    So, a batch of bread rolls is called a batch of batches. What's up with that?

    Sarah's daughter said to me 'What do you call them then?'

    'Bread rolls.'

    'They're called batches though.'

    'What does it say on the packet?'

    'Bread rolls.'

    'Exactly.'

    after this post.. this thread made very little sense to me.

    :confused:

    what the fock is a bread roll?



    glad you're enjoying your whereabouts though Mark. :D

    So I'm on holiday for two weeks in the place I'll be moving to at the start of next year. Already I keep pronouncing a few words in the Midlands accent, having hung out with my girlfriend and family so much. I'm taking bets on how long it'll take to change my accent completely when I live here :D

    Also, the longer I'm here, the more I realise I probably sound like Jamie Oliver or sumfing. Pucka.

    Yep, a hot cross bun does have those things but so does, to my knowledge, a teacake :o

    I know teacakes dont have crosses on them, but neither do they have currants. That is not a teacake in that picture.
