I’ll be honest, I always thought it was just us up North that called the evening meal “tea”. This is pretty accurate for where I live-except for scone, I’d say that was mixed. I pronounce it to rhyme with “alone”.

  3. In Merseyside and Lancashire, a “barm” is a soft bread roll. A crusty bread roll is a “cob”.

  4. I’m from the south originally. I call evening meals dinner, we play tag, a lump of bread is a roll *or* bun (both are suitable), scone rhymes with alone, “put” and “but” are different in vowel sound.

  5. The bread product is wrong. In Bristol, many folks call it a bap not a roll and I where is the term ‘batch’ for Coventry?

  6. Here in the civilised half of Hampshire we do actually call it tea, so the map is quite accurate there.

  7. Lancashire

    Tea

    Tig

    Bun

    Scone is gone

    But rhymes with put

    English

  10. Black Country: Cob is crusty, bap is soft.

    Also, “English” me fucken hole. We spake the saerm we did 500 yeyah agoo.

    Otherwise, I’d say fairly accurate for these parts.

  11. Roll and bap are two different things. At least where I live.

  12. Brighton: Dinner, “You’re It”, depends how it’s being served, scone is alone, put (like put that down) sounds different to but (like but that’s how it is), and English

  13. You missed out “Batch” which is what they’re called in Coventry, Nuneaton, parts of Warwickshire and parts of the Wirral.

  16. I’m from the South East. My older relatives call it ‘tea,’ but I say dinner. Also, we played ‘it,’ not ‘tag.’
