Roll, me.

The Welsh variation is suspect. 'Bara' is Welsh for 'bread' not a bread roll.

Stotty is totally wrong. Stotties are flat and round. Nowt like a bun.

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.

This is the correct answer. It's only a morning roll if it's a well fired Morton's one.

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.
