TwoFour Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 When I was a *whispers* Social Worker, I placed a man in a residential home and I wrote into the contract that he had to have bread and dripping every day!! He was happy as Larry once we'd signed up! He would've done a (very slow)runner without his dripping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantomas Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Does anyone call chip butties.... chip muffins??? Yes! I'm from Oldham originally and there it's called a chip muffin, meaning chips in a breadcake (a muffin). Over there a chip butty is 2 slices of bread with chips in. I've had more arguments on this subject than just about anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
