Here in Yorkshire (and also in Scotland when I lived in Aberdeenshire) they
are called Brambles (both the plant and the fruit).

The same in Cumberland where I grew up.
The activity was called "brambling"

Was it? I grew up in Cumberland and don't remember that. Must be old
age

or you was brung up by a posher lot than I was !

What I cant remember is if it magically turned into blackberries when
it was cooked (eg. in a pie with apples or jam) and into wine by my
mum, I think it, they, did !
(Gran made elderberry wine, just for medicinal purposes ;-) )

Did u go collecting burnets for wine making as well ?


Not until I was grown up. Then I mainly collected elderberries but my
wine-making days are long gone.
