• Dinner, tea or supper? What Britain calls its evening meal

  

  12,522 answers from the Our Dialects survey, mapped: tea in the north, dinner in the south, a tea line across the Midlands, and no sign of dinner moving north.

• Barm, bap, cob or roll? Britain’s bread roll lines

  

  Roll, bun, bap, barm, cob, breadcake, teacake, muffin or batch? I mapped 20,038 answers from two dialect surveys, drew the lines where one word gives way to another, and checked whether the high street agrees.
