The Retirement Thread

Most people I know would take the butter out of the wrapper and spread it on their fruit tea cake.

Thats the way it was brought out, after I had taken the picture I did spread the butter and add the jam using the knife provided and it was very nice, as they usually are.

Good to hear.

I was interested to find out a while back that there was around 16 different names for what we here call a batch, talk about making life unnecessarily complicated.

This has made me realise when we travel away from our own locality , we should carry a packed lunch .
Oh No there’s going to be debate on various regional terms for a packed lunch .

No glazed top. Fruit aye, if it's a fruit tea cake. But who in their right mind would use a fruit tea cake for a burger?

There was an old driver at work, back in the 70's who swore by having a burger in a toasted teacake for breakfast. I did try it once, a strange combination of sweetness and grilled meat. It kind of worked.

When I worked as fitter for a plant hire company we would send an apprentice out to a local cafe For our 11’s . One workmate would always have a burger followed by toast which he spread with his own lime marmalade . He decided to economise by not ordering toast ,instead he combined the lime marmalade with the burger and bun .

Back passage?

I heard one referred to in Hebden Bridge as a 'ginnel'. Actually, that isn't so much an alley at the back, as a very short or narrow alley e.g. a gap in a terrace?

Surely you mean ginnels?
An alley has vehicle access.
Snickets are from further north.

There's a Back Passage in London, EC1!

Must have a closer look at ours in case it’s signed somewhere.

Probably not somewhere obvious and quite possibly somewhere that'll have folk asking "Why's she looking there?".
