If you think that's rough on the arteries, how about this breakfast bap I had a couple of days ago. I overslept and didn't have time to prepare juice, so instead stopped by my favourite sandwich shop on the way to work to order a bap containing the following: fried egg, two sausages, three rashers of bacon, mushrooms, black pudding and a burger.

I have them as an occasional treat and eating them always guarantess two things - unsettling noises from my jaw as it struggles to open wide enough and not feeling hungry for at least 12 hours.

Not sure if I showed you this before but this is how my swiss coleague served a scone with jam and cream

And I feel the need to clarify that there is no such place as Devonshire. notmuchofachin, a cream tea over here is called a Devonshire tea, I was very confused for a while.

Are you originally from oop north lad, I just don't remember hearing the word bap since lived just outside Wigan, or is it a Devon thing too, used to live in glostershire for quite a number of years, and travelled south a bit, its nice.

Just because we like to be confusing, things that come from here are either described as Devonshire or Devonian. For added irritation, Devon is pronounced differently for each term. I'd say us Brits like to be as irritating as we are creative when it comes our native English. For a wonderful example of our love of combining harmless everyday words into graphic profanity, you can't go wrong with the Viz Profanisaurus.

And no, I'm not a northern lad. I'm Devon born and bred, but thankfully escaped having the accent

Confused when I got here (australia) I am a brit. Can't believe you don't want to sound like worzel gummidge.
