A valid point however should i be in an establishment that offered both i would point to the Sausage Roll and ask for the other.

Hold on what if the assistant was visually impaired?

Then it would be Sausages on a Bap.

And while i am on it Gammon/Ham/Bacon seems to get mixed up in Glasgow.
Where i am from Ham is a cold meat,Gammon is served with Pineapple or Egg and requires grilling and Bacon is,Bacon.A Roll and Gammon therefore is not a Ham Roll.

One of my favourite words, glaikit :)

Speug/speuggie, humphy-backit, hairy mouldit, lum. (*Sings* 'These are a few of my favourite things...')

Toosh.

When reprimanded for some petty rule breaking at school you were dished out up to and including six skelps of the Toosh.

When 7 years old i failed to achieve a score of more than six in a random maths test i was dished out two skelps.

However when at sixteen i decided to arive at school sports day on a Vespa T5 and ride over the grass to cheer on the Long Jump then that warranted six.

The crime fits the punishment.

Besom is a broom, especially one fashioned from twigs, according to my Chambers. I know the word from West Country usage where it is not only a broom but one who rides one. Father used regularly to announce his departure to summon Grannie to the dinner table thus: "I'll just go an' call the old bizzum."
