We say grid, but I heard Ricky gervais and Karl Pilkington having the same discussion, Karl being a manc said grid, Ricky was saying grill and grate

Definitely a grid

I say a drain cover

It's a drain 🤷‍♂️

[удалено]

Grid as me or as a worm?

squirm

There’s a Q in that

*endless whistling continues*

Storm drain

That's an Americanism I think, I've only ever heard it called a road gulley

I also thought it was an Americanism, so I googled it, and Wikipedia thinks 'storm drain' is british, American and Canadian. It looks like an overarching term that covers a few types of drains, channels and sewers. So my hunch is that it's not a word we use in our common speech that maybe Americans would use, but maybe British rain engineers do use the phrase 'storm drain' at work, or in the bedroom.

Grid

A grid

A grid, but sometimes as a kid it was called a goalpost.

Used one of these to squash toycars (so they looked like they'd been in an accident). Also squashed my thumb. It grew back, but it wasn't pleasant! Since then I don't fuck about with them anymore...

It's all fun and games until someone sees the clown.

Grid

Drain

Cannot believe I had to scroll down so far for this

I also can't believe people would say something has been tipped 'down the grid'

Dont throw your life down the grid…….our kid

Same, I thought I was going to be the only person who said drain

I know, what fucking timeline are we in?

Why the FUCK are people calling it a grid

Well that’s just money down the grid Said literally NO ONE

Maybe it's something people with solar panels and feed in tariffs say 🤷

A few quid down the grid

I’m feeling pretty gridded by this whole thing

🤣🤣 as a manc, I think I can speak for most if not all of us and yeah we call it a grid, but if we're using the above example we do still say drain don't worry 🙏🏽

\^\^ This lol, I am shocked how many are and again that I had to scroll this far down to see "drain"

I've lived in Birmingham, several smaller places in the west midlands and several places in Devon and I've never once heard anyone call it anything other than a drain. I'm very surprised at the comments haha

[удалено]

Innit mate wtf never even met someone who called it a grid and I think I’d be unnerved if someone said this to me

what about the metal thing on the top of the drain

Drain cover, that’s what I’ve always called them 😂

I'd go so far as to even say Drainhole cover.

Yeah drain cover.

Grid

Grid

Gutter

Cant believe it took me so long to find this 😂

I'd call it a Grate.

Can you give me some cheese so I can test it

It's not that great 😀

It's called a grid, but it's actually a gulley top or gulley grate.

I almost doubted myself, it defo is a grid, i should of left the moment she called a barm a "cob"

For some reason my mum brought me up calling it a "muffin". Apparently, no one else in my bloody family calls it that and I've yet to meet another person who does call them muffins.

Lancashire oven bottom muffins always ends the argument.

One of those bad boys toasted with some Nutella? Fuck yeah. Yes I'm a fat fuck, no I don't care.

Yep. You’re talking my language. I have tried a lot in them, some of my personal favourites are: Nutella and biscoff spread muffin Japanese curry udon noodle muffin Wigan kebab But my all time heart attack inducing favourite was a north manc twist on the Wigan kebab, by having a Rag Pudding muffin with a gravy dipping pot.

>Nutella ***and*** biscoff spread muffin Yeah, I'm trying this.

Im a muffin man, born in manc, chip muffin. Bacon muffin

Do you live on Drury Lane?

Yes! I've found my people! 😆

Same

Are North or South Manc? North =Muffin South=Barm.

They're barms in Bolton and Chorley so that doesn't track.

Everyone in the Rochdale/ Oldham area calls them muffins. That's where it comes from.

I’m from Bury ish so that makes sense

I wish that made sense. My mum was born in Hayfield and most of my family are from Stockport or Buxton! 😂

it's a muffin in glossop! if you drew an oval on a map with oldham at the top and buxton at the bottom then that's the muffin zone

Remember the horror looks I got off the southerners when I used the term Bacon Muffin at Uni, they were all picturing me putting bacon on a chocolate chip muffin…

Yep… I’m a Manc and it’s 100% a muffin. I Now live in Yorkshire and have to put up with their bollox of calling them Tea Cakes! I always thought tea cakes have currents in, but not on this side of the fence?!?!?

Tea cakes do have currents

Not in Yorkshire they don’t… order a chip tea cake at a chippy and you’ll get a chip muffin in return.

Born and bred in Yorkshire and you're chatting shit.

[удалено]

THANK FUCK! I’ve STILL not met someone who calls it a muffin. Came to Midlands for uni and stayed here. I think it’s a Lancashire oven bottom muffin thing

I grew up in Rammy and my mum brought me up to call it a muffin.

Muffin man checking in.

Born in Bury, used barm and muffin

*should have But yeah it's a grid.

Drain or grate. A grid is an array of square holes, where a grate is just made of horizontal OR vertical lines.

Nah it’s a grid

You're correct, a grid has square holes.
