Ronnie Barker: Pumps.
Ronnie Corbett: Pumps? Hand pumps or foot pumps?
RB: Foot.
RC: Foot pumps. Right. (He goes off, returns with a small footpump.)
RB: No, pumps for your feet. Brown pumps, size nine.
RC: You are having me on, I've had enough of this. (He gets them from drawer.) Is that the lot?

There you are, the definitive answer: pumps.

You can also have hours of fun trying to convince somebody who thinks bread rolls are called baps that they're really called buns. :D

There's a burger van outside Wadebridge called "Nice Baps". Always makes me smile.

For some unknown reason, despite growing up on a caravan site followed by a council house, my parents made me talk nicely, though it's probably been of benefit as both my sister and I have done well for where we started from.
