It would seem that at every edit, this article becomes more and more watered down in content. Some of the early entries are far more powerful in their description of the article and the (social) relevance around it. Maybe we need to bulk it back up a bit?RichardLowther 17:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd remove the comment about it requiring tomato sauce or rather than it contains it by default. A "Chip butty" is just chips in a sandwich alone. Sure it "can" contain more, but that is the base. Enverex 23:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I've never heared of a fish & chip shop being called a "Fish 'ole" before... Nadim Scolris 09:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Name

I think this article really should be 'Chip sandwich', "butty" is really a localisation from North West UK. --BMT 18:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I beg to differ. "Sandwich" is an effete Southern variation. The chip butty was invented up North. andy 20:27, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

"Chip Sandwich" indeed! Rubbish. I'm in South Wales, and chips between two slices of bread make a butty. Emartuk 14:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'm not really trying to change your respective ways of life! However "butty" IS a localisation and Wikipedia provides an international view i.e.WP:CSB. This can be seen by comparing Butty and Sandwich --BMT 12:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm from Liverpool and have heard butty used for all types of sandwiches. My father (originally from Bradford, North East England) had never heard the term when he moved to the North West in the 1950's. It's more widely known now, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.245.72.35 (talk) 14:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I live in Devon and it's "chip butty" here too. Totnesmartin (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Im from the north east and Ive always known it as a chip butty, but I now live in Bolton in the north west and the term is never used, instead its chip barm. People apparently dont even know what a butty is here, I asked for one in a chip shop when I first got here and got a really funny look, same thing happened to me in blackpool a few years earlier, so its not just bolton. 81.109.230.12 (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a Wiltshire lad and its most definately a butty. Whether in Wiltshire, the south coast (where my mothers from) and birmingham (where my dad's from and i'm at uni) its always a butty. It might be an english localisation but its not any part of england. Long live the Butty. 77.98.7.142 (talk) 20:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
