Prof. Roland Crump: We can't share a caravan.
Prof. Anna Vrooshka: You thinking you getting crumpet, no?
Prof. Roland Crump: Certainly not, where on earth did you learn that expression?
Prof. Anna Vrooshka: Crumpet, is to squash it, it is in dictionary, crumpet is to squash it together.
Prof. Roland Crump: Oh! You mean cramped.
Prof. Anna Vrooshka: It's what I say crumpet.
Prof. Roland Crump: Crumpet, crumbit, crampit, well I'm not staying round here much longer, I'm going to the pub to see if they have rooms there.
Prof. Anna Vrooshka: Maybe you're getting crumpet in pub also?

Our friends had a party last Saturday to celebrate their seventh anniversary. It was a lovely event: well planned out with a delightful theme....but there was no crumpet!
You thought we were talking about tasty totty didn't you? Well, you'd be wrong. This was a very civilised afternoon tea dance with finger food (and we mean actual food!) - e.g. fairy cakes, cucumber sandwiches, rock cakes, Tunnocks tea cakes (with lovely gooey insides), tinned salmon sandwiches and lots and lots of tea. However, there was a lack of that other delicacy associated with English afternoon tea, i.e. the crumpet. But there was so much of all the other treats that perhaps it really didn't matter.
We love it with lashings of melting salted butter and jam, ideally strawberry. How do you like it (we're still talking about crumpet by the way)?

Hello! First time here - don't quite know how we go here, but here we are anyway.
Tunnocks Teacakes - Yum!
We also adore crumpets - preferably sprinkled with parmesan and really salty butter.
Deeeelish!
Hmmmm savory crumpet! Only savory version I've tried is with Marmite, but may give your cheesy suggestion a whirl.
Do you know, it's really weird but I love Vegemite and hate Marmite.
I know they are virtually the same thing, but Marmite makes me heave.
Not sure about vegemite, but am rather partial to Bovril!
