When we and my girlfriend go out we avoid anywhere with smoke.  She is teetotal and I tend to have a glass of wine and then go on the softs for the rest of the night.

The dichotomy expressed by 623 is a classic example of the 'West Lothian Question'.  Notwithstanding this dilemma, I still don't understand why what's good for the Scotland is not sauce for England.

A bap is a particular kind of soft white roll.  I've had this debate with my mother-in-law in the Midlands.  What I call a bridge roll she calls a roll, and what I call a roll she calls a cob!

Bupa poll highlights effects of binge drinking
Millions of UK drinkers consume over twice the recommended daily amount of alcohol on a single night, while a quarter binge drink regularly, new research shows.

A poll of 2,000 adults, conducted by Bupa Wellness, suggested that 11 million Britons binge drink regularly, although the majority are in denial over their drinking habits.

Almost half said they did not believe binge drinking would damage their health while almost 70 per cent said that they would not classify themselves as binge drinkers.

Using the government's alcohol intake guidelines, Bupa Wellness found that one in three British men and one in five women regularly drank double the recommended amount of alcohol in one sitting.

For women, binge drinking would consist of three glasses of wine or six measures of spirits, increasing to four pints of beer or eight measures of spirits for men.

According to the study, most were unaware they had been binge drinking and were "confused" by government guidelines on alcohol intake.

Bupa Wellness medical director, Dr Peter Mace, said that "almost half of drinkers are baffled by government advice on safe drinking limits" because of the varying strength of drinks.

Young men between the ages of 18 and 24 were found to binge drink the most.

Bupa said new licensing laws coming into effect in October could mean the government will face a "health time bomb"."

Cobs are round and either soft or crusty.  A bap is soft and oblong in shape. That's in Nottingham anyway.  Roll is a southern word although it is used more and more nowadays as Nottingham is a very cosmopolitan city.  In Yorkshire they call soft cobs bread cakes.

To me a bap is soft and round. Long soft rolls have started to become known as torpedos which is a very stupid name for a soft roll. I call them round soft rolls, long soft roll, round crusty rolls or long crusty rolls. i find those descriptions sum up the products well. In the north, rolls are known as barm cakes. Personally, I can't think of a roll as a cake.
Old but spicey!

I agree, a bap is definitely round.



But long live regional differences, they're what make this country interesting.
