What's with all this crap over the internet about certain bread products. It's bread, you eat it and it tastes nice. Who gives a smeg what it's oxford textbook name is...
I wish people would put the same effort in with "Your, You're, There, Here, Their" etc etc. And don't get me started on the state of some people's English on facebook, and I quote "ang dat bastrd for lyf init" which came from someone living on the other side of town from me on our Local police facebook page... :bang:

There is actually some differences in the meanings of the wording, so a Bap is not a COB
There is actually some differences in the meanings of the wording, so a Bap is not a COB
- Bread roll or just roll.
- Cob a round roll, either soft or crusty; a term often used in the East Midlands
- Breadcake the soft roll that is used in the making of sandwiches; a term often used in most areas of Yorkshire.
- Bap (often a larger soft roll, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter). May contain fats such as lard or butter to provide tenderness. Can come in multiple shapes dependent on region. Baps as traditionally made in Scotland are not sweet, unlike the Irish version which may contain currants. The 9th Edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1995) says that the word "bap" dates from the 16th century and that its origin is unknown.
- Barm or barm cake Term used in Liverpool/Lancashire... is a flat, often floured, savoury, small bread made using a natural leaven including mashed hops to stop it souring. It is also slang for a batch.
- Batch, a Wirral and Atherstone Coventry term, a soft floured bread roll.
- Bin lid, a large round soft white or brown roll common in Merseyside.
- Blaa, a doughy, white bread roll. A speciality found in Waterford, Ireland.
- Bulkie roll, a type of roll with a crust that is usually slightly crisp or crunchy and has no toppings.
- Bun (e.g., hamburger bun or hot dog bun).
- Buttery, a flat savoury roll from Aberdeen.
- Dinner roll, a smaller roll, often crusty.
- Dollar roll, a small silver-dollar-sized roll, often sliced and used for sandwiches.
- Finger roll, a soft roll about three times longer than it is wide.
- Flour cake is also used, along with barm, in Bolton.
- French roll, often used as a generic term for the bread roll but also a sweeter softer roll with milk added to the dough.
- Italian roll, also known as a hoagie roll, long roll or steak roll, a long, narrow roll with an airy, dry interior and crusty exterior.
- Kaiser roll, a crusty round roll, often topped with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, made by folding corners of a square inward so that their points meet.
- Kummelweck, a kaiser roll or bulkie roll that is topped with a mixture of kosher salt and caraway seeds. This type of roll is a regional variation found primarily in parts of Germany and in Upstate New York.
- Manchet, a yeast roll popular with the Tudor Court of which there are many variations.
- Muffin Some people in the UK refer to a bread roll as a "muffin" (commonly used in Rochdale, Oldham, Bury, Ashton-Under-Lyne, Salford and parts of West Yorkshire), although a muffin is also a separate, distinct form of bread product. See English muffin.
- Nudger, a long soft white or brown roll similar to a large finger roll common in Liverpool.
- Oven bottom, a Lancashire term for a flat, floury, soft roll.
- Stottie cake, a thick, flat, round loaf. Stotties are common in North East England.
- Teacake, an oven bottom that has risen and slightly browned on top Yorkshire & Lancashire

this reminds me of post 23
Maybe he just saw a huge block of text relating to a bread bun and thought I'm not reading that it might push out something important...
