      I don’t know how they make muffins where you live, but they make them wrong.

        In the UK we would call it one of the following depending where you live.

        • Muffin
        • Bread roll
        • Barm cake
        • Cob
        • Bun
        • Bap

        If I dared to travel 15 minutes in any direction and use the wrong word they would be sure to say do you mean X. Even though they know exactly what I mean.

          Bun

          So… the thing burgers go on?

            To be a pedant I would say the burger goes in, but yes.

            North Manchester myself and we would call it a muffin. I know a muffin in North America would be a small cake kinda thing.

            I drive 60 mins to work and I’m asking for a Barm.

              Okay, well then I’m not sure what the issue is. The person is holding up a hamburger and the outside of the hamburger is the bun or the muffin or whatever.

                Oh I’m sorry for the confusion.

                I was saying it’s a muffin as I really don’t see a burger so it just looks like a muffin.

                I’m not trying to cause an argument here, perhaps a misunderstanding on all parts.

                Really? It could be a dogshit sandwich for all we know.

              drive 60 mins to work

              Here I quit my job over RTO and a 35min train commute.

              You need usable transit, my dude.

                I only do two days in the office now.

                If I took the train it would be around 2 hours to get there. I did for a while and it hurt lol.

                I am lucky in that I work as a software dev for a tiny company and they’re very chill in all aspects, although I would like to WFH full time but I feel in time I’ll get that.
