Roll or bun, robe, alley, heel
California, Connecticut, New York then Birmingham... I've been here 7.5 years and continue to marvel at the intense regional language and accent variations here.

One of the comments about the original post on The Poke was :-
America: You drive for four hours. You are still in the same part of the country.
UK: You drive for two hours. The local accent has changed twice. Bread rolls have a new name.

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

Absolutely true. We used to drive six hours then get out and spend the rest of the day in the theme park. If we drive to visit my partner's parents less than an hour away, he feels it's a big trip and we have to stay over. Just a different perspective...

Quignon (especially if eaten on the way home from the boulangerie)
After 20 years of scoring the fresh crust MrPP discovered it was a good thing (I may have neglected to mention it before) so now we have to share!

PP, try it on your OH. 
Alas his days of having hair are but a distant memory ! And I have such hated curly hair I've had it clippered very short for ever

In Ireland we have a thing called a Jumbo Breakfast Roll, we even wrote a song about it.
Here’s the link to Pat Shortt singing it on YouTube

Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.
