Roll is natural to me, being a southerner by birth, but I've lived in the Midlands and the North East too, so happy with many of the options. Stotties are deffo a north East thing. I'm especially fond of baps.

Just a warning to our Northern members, if you come down to London and ask for Cob, Barm or Stotty you will almost certainly get your head kicked in. Fact.
London is a very dangerous place if you don't know the lingo.

To me it's always been a bun... but in certain chip shops, if you ask for a chip bun, they'll give you a look and say "chip barm!". If it's crusty it's a crusty cob. If it's a little bun, I might call it a roll... but generally speaking, it's a bun.
As for the stotty, I've only seen those in Cumbria, and they're a fair bit bigger than a bun/barm/bap/roll thing (knocking on dinner plate size). Never seen or heard the phrase stotty in Yorkshire, but it's been a while as I've been refused entry since 1997... so maybe it's one of those newfangled things like electric, running water and glass.

And for those in the know, one of Glossop's best roadside vans goes by the name of "Bigger Baps". I can only assume this is because the proprietor isn't a local

It's a teacake in Cumbria, according to Workington-born Mrs A_T... no, that's a breadcake, says I... a tea cake has currants in it and you toast them, noooo, she says, that's a currant teacake. 31 years and she still gets it wrong.
