Roll, me.
The Welsh variation is suspect. 'Bara' is Welsh for 'bread' not a bread roll.
So what do YOU call it?

We used to call them rolls when I were a lad.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Exactly!
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

If its crusty its a cob, if its soft its a roll....
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Re: So what do YOU call it?
Forty-odd years in Notts but I've never converted to calling them cobs. They're rolls. The larger, softer rolls with a floury top are baps.
However the local independent baker, which has been around for 50 years and supplies Asda and Sainsbury's calls their rolls York Baps.
