Nope, there's two of us in the office.

A butty here here in one of a pair. If you had lost a sock, you could say,”where’s the butty to this one?”

People call their mates “butty” or even “but”!

No you’d say “anyone seen my other sock” or “where’s my other sock”.

Whoa! Bob, you take egg butties to work? In an open plan office or do you sit on your own??
I had to stop my mum taking egg butties on a long train journey, I just couldn't let her travelling companions be subjected to that.

I used to work in a large drawing office and fried egg butties were a delicacy from the canteen. Luckily we used to draw on plastic film, not paper, so the inevitable yolk drips/squirts and greasy fingerprints were easy to wash off.

What a strange post. No, I wouldn’t.

A butty is also the engineless boat towed by a barge.

At the favourite carboot, we buy spam butties. (Lancashire) On some kind of roll - I've not yet learned all the varying dialects. I think it's one butty, two butties but it's rarely written!
On a cold morning they are even better than fish finger butties (flashes back to Southern childhood) which we made with sliced white.

Mayo on chips? Sounds like something my Southern dwelling sis would go for, whereas my lot require the car (aka the flying cruet) to carry red & brown sauces to cater for individual tastes. The chippy who only opens for an hour & half a day (at most) does a chip barm and you can have curry sauce on that.
