A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

No

Urgh that’s what my husband has with chips. He’s a Southerner obv..

NoWordForFluffy · 19/09/2025 20:25

I like mayo with chips. Also like gravy on chips!

I'm a north-based East Midlander, if that helps?!

And it's roll! 🤣

I beg to differ 😂

They're an entirely different beastie! Not what I'd think of as a roll.

These are rolls!

Yeah, but you can't make a proper butty with them. You need a muffin for that 😁

You can't make a butty with a muffin, you wouldn't get more than ten chips in it. You need a bap for that. This is the hill I will die on.

Dustbin lid roll? Because a bap is no bigger than a normal roll in my head! 😬

I often have lunch muffins, depending on what DH makes for me! #spoilt 🤣

Assuming by pikelets you mean what I call crumpets ( I had to Google as I thought you meant baby fish 🥴)
6 crumpets Aldi / Lidl 45p

I know it’s not the point you’re drawing attention to.

Noooo pikelets are NOT crumpets 😆

There's an elderly lady a couple of doors down from my son makes jumbo oven bottoms. You can fit a whole cooked breakfast in them. I think she has a thing for no.1 son, either that or she thinks he doesn't feed himself properly, as she drops some round to him from time to time. I sometimes get an accusatory look when I visit.🤣

Am I really on here with a bunch of northerners 🤯🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Northern women who don't like to Angela Rayner as a role model 🤣

twistyizzy · 19/09/2025 20:39

Am I the most Northern of us?

Born + raised Yorkshire but living in County Durham?

Actually you need a stottie 🤣

Absentosaur · 19/09/2025 20:40

Perfect for crispy bacon and HP sauce.

(or DH has to have a BLT with mayo)

I believe there’s one of us in Scotland.

Anyway, I’m firmly a cockney (though with plenty of DNA from the north of England).

twistyizzy · 19/09/2025 21:00

Slightly regretting my bottle of prosecco, have to be up to do school run tomorrow 🫣🤪

EmpressoftheMundane · 19/09/2025 21:05

London based, foreign born. Pikelets are news to me!
