Anyway, nothing too important, just a couple of mysteries to me

Thanks in advance!
Yep you're almost spot on.


Bacon Butty (you were just a little bit out with the spelling), but you were right about what it is, also a chip butty is very common, two pieces of bread with "chips" as in hot slices of potato in the middle, find out all about them here :

Hope I have been of some help.



tea and biscuits = tea and cookies although I guess its meant to be more like these :

than sickly chocolate ones, although I guess you would call that "candy".
