The name for the meal is 'bangers and mash'.
Bangers for sausages because as any good chef knows you're not supposed to prick them or else the fat (and hence the flavour) leaks out so they had a tendency on occasion to explode in the frying pan, hence 'bangers'.
Mash, or creamed potatoes is just what it says. Put them together and you have a traditional low-cost (therefore considered to be working-class) meal of bangers and mash.

I remember my mom saying something like that (she's born and raised in Kent near Tonbridge Wells), but we were moving around so much in my childhood that I never got to try it. Anything with sausage has to be good, right?
