Oh, what is a "butty", a "cheese butty" or a "bacon butty"?  Is that 
some kind of sandwich?  Or is the terminology entirely Liverpudlian, and 
not widespread UK?  I just read Cynthia Lennon's memoir, "John", and she 
keeps mentioning butties, in contexts of fast food or portable food, a 
term that I don't remember ever hearing before...
