In the late 60's my first job was working in the purchasing office at Rolls-Royce for stationery, tools, general supplies. The lady in charge of the female welfare department (well before HR) was a woman who insisted on being called Miss Fearn.
Whenever she sent a requisition through to re-stock the machines in the Ladies my gaffer would pass it on to me as we had to phone it through to the supplier - 'Here you go lad, another order for Florrie Fearns' manhole covers'

Strange though. Why are they called sarnies? They're not Sarndwiches so Sannies makes more sense.

That's how posh folk pronounce them. Us rough working class types (doffs cap) says sammiches.
