In the cultural utopia that is Milton Keynes, the word butty is only ever used to describe the shoving of chips into a roll, we don't call sandwiches butties we call them sandwiches, we're hilarious like that. 

 

When my fellow Southern mate went to Manchester and the lady at a cafe asked him if he wanted a full English on a plate or a barm he looked genuinely freaked out. 'A plate please, I have no idea what a bam is'.

Agreed - its on a soft roll. Barm

Two pieces of bread makes a butty.

A butty is two slices of bread 

 

Galactic Empire? Galactic divvy more like 

Doesn't really need to be two slices. A buttie can be one slice half filled and the other half folded over.

You can think what you want, it happened.

I get a sausage roll from Greggs (in Scotland) most days & it's never happened to me.

 

I can only assume you were served by a complete & utter maniac.

My mum was born and raised in Huyton, and yet I never heard the word Barm unless we were visiting our relations in St Helen's. It was always bap at home. 

Your mum was adopted from somewhere like Norwich, and was found floating in a reed basket in the fens.

But surely that’s 2 slices of bread?

Just asked around, and so it is (piece and chips = chip buttie). No wonder I get funny looks if someone asks for a bacon or sausage piece and I give it to them on a roll, they're probably cursing the foreigner and his weird ways.
