jam eaters

Initially a term of abuse, because some local miners were too poor to put meat in their sandwiches. Now a term of solidarity for the people of West Cumbria, especially the inhabitants of Whitehaven and Workington.

We're jam eaters and proud of it!
Are you a jam eater? (West Cumbrian)
Jam eaters against the rest.
