One Brumism that I don't understand is this one: Sandwich = piece I can help with that because my sister married a guy from Kingstanding. "Pieces" for sandwiches as in "pieces of bread" ie slices cut from the loaf. ;D I was surprised to hear that this one was still going, as i thought that in modern Brummie vernacular a "piece" referred to a hand gun  |

Growing up reading Oor Wullie and The Broons (Scottish Grandmother) a piece has always been a sandwich to me  |
