I had no idea I did this until a colleague gently mocked me for it.

I listened to some others and they do it too.

I - apparently - say sangwich. Brought up on the west coast of Scotland, if that explains it.

you could say piece and really annoy your workmate

Of you could really mess with them and say 'Ah'm lukin fir a piece tae hae a bit o peace sae Ah can eat a piece o ma piece'.

Is it just me or does the word piece look really weird?

My FIL says Sang-wich, he is from the West of Ireland. I had never heard this pronunciation before hearing him say it.

BrokenWing · 23/03/2019 11:17

Sang-wich. West coast of Scotland too!! 👋🏼

Sarnie.

Redyoyo · 23/03/2019 11:37

If I'm in the house or my mother's i would say a piece on ham, cheese etc..however it would be sangwich everywhere else. My accent make it difficult to pronounce the d weirdly!
