I can attest that spreading the bread with olive oil works just as well. Indeed, I might ask: why mess about with a hit-and-miss method of heating butter to reproduce the rheology of olive oil when you could just use olive oil in the first place?

I was involuntarily listening to two old ladies talking loudly to each other the other day. One, to the astonishment of the other, said she had never had a chip butty.
Being a true man of the world, I have had many chip butties in my time.
FYI, if needed, a chip butty is chips (ie french fries, NOT crisps) sandwiched between bread slices or in a bap/bun. Arguably it should be buttered, but we will ignore that for the purposes of the following poll:
Q. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A CHIP BUTTY?
@Nickiquote What are the counties representing
1. Where I and from?
2. Where I live?
3. Where I ate said butty (if I ate one)?FWIW I have lived significant parts of my life in multiple countries and also have more than one nationality.

Respectfully I beg to differ.
In t' north of England, commonly, it can mean either.

Some 55 years ago, a university department in a northern city put on a social evening for new students, in a pub. "Do you do food?" "Yes we'll put on a spread for you".
The food arrived, white sliced bread, margarine and a mountain of chips, with 'sauces' of course. Chip butties!
It freaked the southerners a bit.Look, I'm a southerner from a long line of southerners - seriously, my ancestors have been in Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk ever since Thomas Cromwell first told the vicars to write down who they'd baptised - and I've been familiar with the chip butty from very early childhood. Can we stop with these claims of northern ownership of the concept, please?

@Nickiquote Actually, while I still think greater clarity would be be better for my own part, on of my nationalities is British and I have eaten a chip butty England.

@Nickiquote When you say eaten... I've had a bite, but didn't eat the rest. Ew...

Oh gosh, I want it, and I've only just had lunch!
Personally, I would add grated cheese and tomato ketchup, for the butty de la butty...
