If it's a soft it's called a floury bap
What’s this cheeky chappy called?

I'm sure I have seen them down here somewhere. Is it a slang name you are after, like a donkey's nose, flies graveyard etc.?

Try asking for a Chip Butty in South Wimbledon. In the end, we had fries in a pitta.
Not quite the same...

... I don't know what goes on in shops where you are ... in your example of a "Bacon barm", would they just take a barm cake and put a slice of bacon on top?
... where I'm from they'd always slice the barm/batch/bap/whatever into at least two bits before they put the bacon in between ... making it a bacon butty 
Cheers, PhilB

You can slice the barm and put the bacon in it to make a bacon barm, but that doesn't make it a bacon butty!... I don't know what goes on in shops where you are ... in your example of a "Bacon barm", would they just take a barm cake and put a slice of bacon on top?

It does in my book.
What’s the criteria for a bacon butty?
I love the passion we have as Brit’s for the name of a piece of bread!
What about oven bottom?

I'm from Coventry , where they are a batch. A crusty or soft batch.
I then lived "Darn Sarff" for a long time, where they are called a roll.
Even tho it was a very cosmo place, nowhere had heard of a batch.
So i used to ask for a sausage roll, and be presented with a f*****g sausage-roll (pastry) not a sausage roll (bread roll with sausages).
I gave up and moved to Wales and stopped eating sausages.

Sliced sandwich bread (the cheaper and whiter the better), butter (optional), bacon, red or brown sauce. Bacon butty. Same with a barm? Bacon barm. Not a butty.
I appreciate that other viewpoints exist, but they are wrong and the sign of a lack of moral fibre.

I have to disagree (respectfully of course) - the two are interchangeable. The bread (regardless of shape) is a vessel to enjoy the bacony goodness within and both constitute a bacon butty (not sandwhich - on principal)
It may (or may not) by toasted. Both have their pros and cons. Toast gives an extra texture and additional flavour but untoasted soaks in the melted butter.
I’m a brown bread man myself so would always gravitate towards that or some of the lovely looking loaves pictures on the bread porn thread.
Brown sauce is preferable but in its absence (a light smattering) of red will get you through the long dark nights (that sounded much better in my head)
And a minimum of three rashers should be used. I’m surprised this isn’t law to be honest.
I once worked at an event where people were walking 64miles (100km) and their breakfast was a single rasher on dry bread (white tea cake) pft!!!

It's good to have a laugh about these things. I love a bacon butty (or a bacon cob...
) and I'm always glad to hear from a fellow three rasher devotee. I take back the lack of moral fibre jibe.
I think sandwiches sound a bit formal and pretentious...and would normally have the crusts removed and cut into double triangles.
Butties are more for when you stop on your dinner break,no not your lunch break!!! and are cut straight in half,not into triangles. They get wrapped in a plastic bag or maybe foil,sometimes get sat on but they're ok.
Fillings...hot bought ones...sausage,bacon and egg..
Cold ones your Mrs makes...cheese cut with an axe,egg or ham.

It's a lunch break. Dinner is at dinner time, normally between 5 -6 pm. No point confusing the situation
That's your tea.
Unless you live in a mansion,wear a dinner jacket and have a gong announcing it...

It's tea time not dinner time, you must be back at school

Ooh, I do hope that we avoid arguing the lunch / tea / dinner / supper debate!
The correct use of these terms is, of course:
- dinner is the meal you have in the middle of the day IF it is a full cooked meal.
- lunch is an uncooked / snack meal that you have in the middle of the day.
- Tea is the meal that you have early evening, whether or not it is cooked / snack-type.
- supper is what posh people eat before going to bed
