Some of us just want a drink/whatever and welcome the ability to skip the queue for it!
Each to his own and all that!

Just been forced to use at table, app, pay by card ordering tonight. Placed order, paid, received confirmation of successful payment. Then the app crashed. Allowed to order at bar because “it happens all the time - you’ll have to pay again but you’ll probably get your money back on your card”. Unfortunately there’s nowhere else to go and as best man I can’t abandon the stag do.

I only just saw this but thought I’d say, isn’t that place awesome? Always stop there on the way to the Lake District. I’m a big Art Deco fan, would love to stay there one night

Stayed once for one night, got an upgrade to their top floor suite (room 302) with his and hers toilets, a 5 foot diameter bathtub, huge room with 2 window walls, and 270 degree wraparound balcony with hot tub.
I’d say stay once if you can, just for the experience, and eat at the Sun Terrace restaurant which is superb before moving to the cocktail bar.
We did it as a stop-off on the way to Scotland as to be honest there’s not much else in Morecambe other then Eric’s statue.
Bit of an extravagant night but absolutely worth it for the building, the amazing views and the food.

It’s probably a regional thing. Like the names for woodlice and bread rolls 
I think I say whole milk too but I haven’t bought any for over a decade so I can’t really remember.

My mum calls it full fat milk. Might be an age thing or where she’s from
Tends to be milk, green and red as the classification system here

I was in the Peak District recently and the big signs for the tourists to read all said “ROLLS” but when you got closer, the little menus and smaller signs all said bams 
(I think it was bams, it might have been barns, northerns and their weird words!)

Hold on, woodlice are called different things?
I love the idea of ordering a Chip Bam. It just feels nice to say!
What’s interesting is a similar thing happened with Spanish and French when those languages were brought from Europe to the Americas. Quebecois French uses a lot of old words that European French speakers find ridiculous.
And some Latin American Spanish dialects kept old European Spanish uses. e.g. the use of vos for “you” singular in Argentina/some parts of Colombia/Central America used to be used in Spain before “tu” took over. (I hope I got that story right)

It would have been barms. That’s what they call them out Manchester/Lancashire way. They’re wrong anyway; the correct word is breadcakes.
I also say full fat milk, rather than whole milk.

I’ve lived in north Wales and Liverpool and they were definitely woodlice
Wonder if it’s one guy who lives in a cave who calls them something different?

Teacakes. I’m from Barnsley.
Wife, who is from Nottingham, says that a teacake has currants it. And that without currants, its a bap.
But she’s wrong. A teacake has no currants in it. A currant teacake has currants in it.

I’m from Leicester and your wife is correct (sorry to inform you).
Nothing better than a bacon bap, the cheaper the bread the better
