One more reason why it can NEVER work! What's a buttie, by the way?

A sandwich.
Some people may try to argue that it is specifically a single slice of bread folded over to make the sandwich (as opposed to 2 slices). So choose your side of the war.
I always assumed the name came from the fact you usually have BUTTer on it. But I've never looked into that before so I could be way off.

Your assumption is correct. The OED defines a butty (or buttie) as a sandwich (origin from butter).

It's a thing. She's done it. I'll let you google it yourself - I don't want to be the one responsible for "waking the cannibal in you"...

But if you wear the patch and eat bacon, you profit from a double-hammy whammy!

... and I just recieved a prime example:
It's a Java position (which is not on my resume).
It's only 50 miles away, in the middle of a city, so you're looking at 2 ~ 3 hours each way of commuting.
And it requires 15 years of related experience as a Software Developer.
The post? "Junior Java Developer"
Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!

Me? Oh yes, I've got 15 years experience with Excel 2016!!
I used to work for a company that had G.I.S. as it's initials.
Now I get calls wanting at least 5 years of GIS expertise! Auto-scanned CV anyone?

Great! You're qualified for a post as a Junior Developer!

Were commuting expenses part of the package?

I once got offered a job as a property developer (construction) because my job title states that I'm a Software Developer. Worst of all was that the recruiter could not understand why I couldn't give her a list of the shopping malls I've built in my career (which was 2 years experience at the time).

That reminds me... In the 1990, I was a Comp.Sci. college lecturer. There had been a sudden drop in the demand for software people, so our students didn't always find a job after graduation. One of them was hired by a publishing house for typing into the computer the complete works of the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. He got the job because he, as a programmer, knew how to use a keybard.
Then comes the crazy part of the story - unrelated to LinkedIn and recruiting, but it deserves to be told:
I was suprised that the job was offered at all. This company had published a new Ibsen Complete only a few years back, which certainly must have been typeset by computer, right? Yes, right. That printing was sold out, and they were going to make a new one. Then they have the typesetting files in their computers, don't they? Well ... This publishing house went directly from lead type to computer typesetting, replacing the technology, but retaining the work procedures with as little change as possible. In the age of lead type, once a printing had been made, the lead was recycled for the next book to be printed. The last (now sold out) Ibsen printing had certainly been made by a computer typesetting system, with the text stored on floppy discs. Once the printing was done, the floppy disks had been recycled, used for their next book. The publishing house guys thought of that as the normal thing to do; in the lead age, you always had to do the typesetting again to make a new printing of an old book.
My former student was happy with getting some income while searching for a permanent job, but shook his head as much as I did.

That is a fail of epic proportions.
Maybe even worse than the lady who stuck the floppy disk backup to the office fridge with an industrial strength magnet.
