    Lots of funny names round where I grew up. You can always tell a “foreigner” when they start to talk about Penistone.

    To be honest - rolls have always just been called rolls here. I don't really know anyone who calls them anything else!
    A well fired roll is popular here though - my younger daughter loves those for her soup. I made her some ham and lentil the other day so that she could bring some home.

    When I first came across someone sniggering about Penistone, it took me a minute or two to realise why :D. Being relatively local, I'd been hearing it spoken since I was a little un.

    Aren't rolls and baps different? I equate rolls (normal not finger or anything else fancy) with being full, domed and crusty. Baps are soft and flat and in some way comforting. Bap to me is also one of those words that becomes more nonsensical the more you say it. Bap, bap, bap..... a bap is a bun and a bun is a bap, but neither are a roll.

    Baps sound as if they'd taste horrible and they do. Crusty rolls have possibilities. If you have a crusty bap, you can get a special cream for it

    The good old river Uck. Used to drive past that sign on a daily basis, felt tip in hand. Must be some local meaning to Uck that I'm unaware of as there's the Cuckmere around here too.
    Just googled Uck (now don't do that unless you want to go blind) - and apparently the Uck featured in Good Omens. I don't recall that at all,

    Where do bread buns fit in to all this, that’s what I want to know? Is a bun a bap? Or is it a roll? 

    You little devil, you @B3. If you’d persisted you could have become another Banksy. Or maybe you did persist……
