UK Raffers
I've set up a "Social Group" for the UK Raffers amongst us to join, if you so choose!

I thought it may be an easy way to organise, for example, a meet

So, do please drop in, have a cuppa tea and bacon butty, and we'll go for a pint later.

What ho!

I've joined the group, although I wouldn't call myself particularly social. And you've got me thinking about bacon butties now. Mmmmm...

Toodle-pip!

Ahhh, but shurely Shirley my name "Phoebe" (or not, as the case may be!) should shine a bit of a light. I'm a chappette

Why would you sully bacon with lettuce and tomato? Hot bacon in a buttered sandwich (or roll). With ketchup or brown sauce. Mmmmm... British cuisine!

It's too late for you now. They've spotted you. Next comes the monocles and the accent and the affinity for absurdist humor. Soon you'll be speaking disparagingly about the Welsh.

Nah, got a small imobile baby thingy that prevents too much movement around the country, she couldn't deal with that much travel yet just for a day. However, I'd be up for something in the new year when the baby thingy's older and I've lost a stone in weight/got better hair

I'm rather fond of the old Chip Buttie, so fail to see how a Bacon Buttie could be less good than that.

As for Tea, I must confess I prefer the Green stuff from China or Japan (I'm a coffee drinker for the most part), but Beer is best served in a Pint glass.

Unless it's German, in which case it should be in a Stein, or American, in which case it can just stay in the horse.

The only thing better than a bacon buttie is two bacon butties. I haven't had a chip buttie for ages. Last week I ate 2 crisp sandwiches for tea as I couldn't be arsed going to the supermarket.

Here I am in Marbella on the last night of my holiday and I´ve just been handed a bacon butty by a lovely senora- And a damn good one too. Fortunately her husband hails from Lancs and she is practiced in the arts of the butty manufacturer.

Maņana...

Hello UK raffers. I'm signed up and enjoying the bacon butty appreciation. Must take myself off to a purveyor of such delights at once.
