I like this thread. Eases identification of hoi polloi.
*Makes list*
Mouldable bread, heart attack amounts of butter, then cheap supermarket crisps. Ready salted, salt and vinegar, or cheese and onion. The sort that have far too much salt or other chemical flavourings that make your mouth shrivel on eating.
Anything else is just a distraction from the purity of the crisp butty.
Granary bread, butter, Wensley Dale or Lancashire cheese and just a hint of Strawberry jam. Forget the crisps.

...and to think. You thought gherkins were bad, Binners.

[i]The[/i] hoi polloi, please. This is not the 17th century.
On topic: might have to experiment with the local Lidl cheese rolls, they're already pretty close to crack and the addition of crips should just push them over the edge...
Hoi = the.
Hoi = the.
"Hoi polloi", fixed phrase in modern English so it uses an article. Unless you would also drop the article from words like "alchemy", too?

Leaving the [i]plebs[/i] aside, I'm pleased to confirm crisp sandwiches are definitely A Northern Thing(TM).
I've even tried it (when in [s]Rome[/s] Wigan). I can confirm the necessary ingredients are:
White bread (from Booths - I have retained some standards!)
Lightly salted Kettle crisps
Strong cheddar cheese (from Booths, natch)
Lightly smoked ham (from...oh you know by now)
Pretty much covers all the processed/beige food bases required for a light lunchtime snack....

You're wrong, though. We definitely used to make them in London in the 70s.
