Davkaus Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 If I heard someone refer to a bacon "muffin" or "barm", I think I'd just end the conversation there and walk away. Roll is stupid, but tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't accept these newfangled woke counties. Birmingham is in Warwickshire. If it isn't, they'd better move that cricket ground out of Edgbaston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
