We took the bus to Liverpool instead of the train. It's much cheaper, but not nearly as much fun. There were so many people going to Liverpool that they put two buses on the route. Then one went straight to Liverpool and the other did all the stops for people who wanted to go to places on the way. This got us there almost an hour early.
We’re staying with Ant’s Nan and Granddad. We were hungry when we arrived so Etta made us beef butties. I have finally figured out the difference between butties and sandwiches: a butty has only the named item with the bread and maybe some butter. A sandwich contains the filling as well as lettuce (or “salad”), tomatoes, and maybe some cheese. So my beef butty was two pieces of white bread, generously buttered, and a slice of roast beef. Now I know what to expect when offered a Northern butty! Later in the evening I also enjoyed a ham butty, and a ham and tomato butty, prepared by Ant's sister Rachele.
Ant, being a good Northern boy, eats every kind of butty. Some of his favourites are the chip butty, the rice and curry butty, and the sausage butty.
