Is that the butty he has in mind?
The butty that we are discussing is straightforward.
As for meals, workers used to take a jam butty to work, but nowadays more substantial meals are involved, which means further expenses.
They all took a jam butty, or whatever, and had no travel expenses because they walked to work.
They may be butty men, surface men, people who are employed solely in the interests of the employer, so far as anything that herein appears.
People wore ordinary working clothes and took a jam butty or whatever for lunch.
I always thought that a butty contained a bottom, a middle and a top.
Does that include chip butties?
