People are sharing what they call these four items with different regional names

It’s far from a new revelation that Britain has many different names for many different things. It’s also no secret that the British dialect can alter dramatically from one town to the next.

UK: You drive for two hours. The local accent has changed twice. Bread rolls have a new name.
