Compo from Last of the Summer Wine:
"What kind of a pillock rides a hillock? I love that show and it's hard to find the videos when they don't sell the complete series and that is one mighty long series.
I'll tell you of an experience I had in Wales which makes me determined to learn so many proper british words.
Dan and I went to see the Christmas lights get switched on in the shopping area downtown. It was a grand site and I saw the mayor of Pembrokeshire and the town crier dressed in the clothes like A Christmas Carol.
After a great fireworks display, we walked to a chippey (fast food place), and got some food. I ordered a hamburger and chips. The woman asked if I wanted a roll. I thought it was like the dinner rolls we have for dinner and I thought why would I need one if I got the bun for the burger already. So I said no and Dan and I got our food and headed for home. When I opened up my plate, I noticed only the meat and the chips but no bun. I was going to question Dan about this until it hit me that roll meant BUN!
He even confirmed it but I ate my food like that anyway. So when I go back and when we go to a chippey again, I'm getting the roll.
