Oh, I've never heard that one... cob on. I'll know next time ;)

I think the term 'cob' derives from 'cobble' as in cobblestone road... but I could be wrong, it has been known.

Anyway, why do you lot from dahn sath think we're Northern if we're from Watford Gap and above? I'm a Midlander... from... yes, you've guessed.. the Midlands.

[andy_k]

[adriandiamond]

Hey guys,

seems like there's some sort of lifeform on the otherside of the wall at the Watford Gap. I think they are trying to communicate.

Should we meet with them and offer them a sausage butty or a chip barm???

We could find out why they walk over a brew when we drink one.

[John Hopkins]

Batch: short for Batchelor pad New Zealand term for small flat. Try to keep inthe same hemisphere please :D John.

[Womble_Lancs]

Its not a cob, roll, bap,darmcake, breadcake etc ITS CALLED A BATCH !!!! :mad:

No, I've told you before, a batch is a tinned loaf! It even sez so on the packaging in Tesco!

I laughed me tits off at some bloke in a cafe once that asked for a bacon teacake. The woman said "bacon? on a teacake? are you sure?" and he said "aye", and then gave her a dead funny look when he got the currant version

[Violetmay]

I feel educated now. So here's a good question at what part of the north south border do we start saying scone as in scooooooone and scon as skon.. if you get me drift. See I say skon and have never lived north of oxford... and have softy southern family who say scooooooooone. whaddusay?:D

[adriandiamond]

Good question but they're never here long enough to find out..........one mouthful and they're SCONE.

[Violetmay]

That is why there is a very good College in Oxford to try to educate the locals as to the right pronunciation of the word SCONE (SCE_O_NE).

Oh, and the border starts ................................?????

Just butter, unless you're from Devon or surrounding area where because they have so much cream that is out of date...clotted I think they call it, they have to get rid of it somewhere so they ship it out to Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire........etc. etc. Adding the jam is just to hide the flavour of the out of date cream.

[adriandiamond]

I never went. Too fick.:D

That's obvious with your spelling..............it's "neva"

[Violetmay]

Oh you mean a chav college ennit... nah.. neva went to one of them eeeva.. just tech college..:D

[adriandiamond]

In our quest to find out whether a "cob" is a "bun" or whether a "scon" is a "scone" have we all forgotten the humble "muffin". Come on guys, you know there is nothing like a "Good Muffin"!!!

[adriandiamond]

Oh you mean a chav college ennit... nah.. neva went to one of them eeeva.. just tech college..:D

I'm not saying that I don't like Welsh Rarebit, just makes a bloody mess of the toaster everytime the Rarebit slides off the bread.

Having said that, it took an Englishman so solve the problem...................just turn the toaster on its side......voila. So you see us English do have our uses.
