Sorry, Helen, it's got to be a BATCH or nothing, none of your northern words on here. |

I recognise that I'm a guest in your county, Anne, MR. I will attempt speak the language in a slow and loud voice. |

Ah the perils of language. I now don't know what K I D E R M I N S T E R means. Is it a Coventry euphemism for gone barmy?
"How's Mr Smith these days?"
"Oh, sorry to tell you that he's gone full Kidderminster. They only realised when they caught him buttering his slippers and wearing two small brown loaves on his feet. They asked him what he was doing and he said 'loafing about'." |

I had a sign on my office door 'You DO have to be mad to work here and no, it doesn't help'. |

Up here it's a Sausage in a Bun, or Sausage Softie! Not forgetting of course that one has to ask for link sausage or you get the beef square 'Lorne Sausage' which definitely doesn't sit well in a round batch! |

As my son was born in Staffordshire, he refuses to acknowledge "batches" although he went to Coventry University. He recently went for an interview in Stoneleigh and I said to him, "Do you realise, if you get the job, you will have to eat batches?" and he said, "No I won't, I will take my own sandwiches". |

Now if it's sausages in bread it would be a sausage butty.
Bread/buns are probably the best way to tell where someone is from if they haven't got an accent. |

Hi all,
Sausages might be one of the reasons for the mixed terms of batches or rolls.
Sausage roll is a sausage cased in pastry, whereas a sausage batch is cased in bread. If I pop into Greggs, at anytime, they serve hot sausage rolls & hot sausage batches. How do we distinguish one from the other?
Food for thought.

No way can you have a sausage butty, a chip butty yes, or a sausage sarny. |

Tee hee. In Lancashire you can have all sorts of butties. I wonder why chip butties caught on elsewhere? |
