when i worked in Manchester I always made a point of asking for a tea cake in the chip shop. Every day for a week we had the same conversation
"can I have a tea cake as well?"
"what!"
" a tea cake fer t'put me chips on"
"thats a bap love"
"no a bap's what's on your chest and they usually come in pairs"
"a tea cake has currants in it"
"well what do you call a currant bun"
"........ that'll be another 50p then love"
bloody Mancs, think they can re-invent the English language!
