I think nothing less than a public inquiry will do.

One of the best things about flying around Europe in Club was to attempt the following:

1. Place the entire contents of a jar of clotted cream, plus its associated jar of jam, on to one half of a scone
2. Balance the other half of the scone on top of the construction
3. Open your mouth as wide as possible and attempt to eat...

One of the few pleasures that BA must not deny us...Chris

Hang on hang on hang on

I have to admit when I first read this news you were the very first person I thought of! I hope this hasn’t ruined your festive season and when you awake in the morning you find it was all a big, bad dream 💭🙂

At least it resolves the conundrum of what goes on first! 😁

Just make sure you purchase it in servings < 100ml or it will be whipped off you.

Cream is an English thing anyway...us Scots always have butter with our scones.

So it's all your fault... as usual!

I believe that should be "The world has scone mad," though YPMV (your pronunciation may vary) depending upon which side of the baked goods debate you're on.

sadly the nhs Rota gods have dealt me the sort of Xmas dream you often get from eating cheese quite late a night…….

A run of nights over Xmas and days for New Year


god bless the nhs and all of my colleagues. We will be thinking of you all sat slurping LPGS

The King's Breakfast
by A.A. Milne

The King asked
The Queen, and
The Queen asked
The Dairymaid:
"Could we have some butter for
The Royal slice of bread?"
The Queen asked the Dairymaid,
The Dairymaid
Said, "Certainly,
I'll go and tell the cow
Now
Before she goes to bed."

The Dairymaid
She curtsied,
And went and told
The Alderney:
"Don't forget the butter for
The Royal slice of bread."
The Alderney
Said sleepily:
"You'd better tell
His Majesty
That many people nowadays
Like marmalade
Instead."

The Dairymaid
Said, "Fancy!"
And went to
Her Majesty.
She curtsied to the Queen, and
She turned a little red:
"Excuse me,
Your Majesty,
For taking of
The liberty,
But marmalade is tasty, if
It's very
Thickly
Spread."

The Queen said
"Oh!:
And went to
His Majesty:
"Talking of the butter for
The royal slice of bread,
Many people
Think that
Marmalade
Is nicer.
Would you like to try a little
Marmalade
Instead?"

The King said,
"Bother!"
And then he said,
"Oh, deary me!"
The King sobbed, "Oh, deary me!"
And went back to bed.
"Nobody,"
He whimpered,
"Could call me
A fussy man;
I only want
A little bit
Of butter for
My bread!"

The Queen said,
"There, there!"
And went to
The Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid
Said, "There, there!"
And went to the shed.
The cow said,
"There, there!
I didn't really
Mean it;
Here's milk for his porringer,
And butter for his bread."

The Queen took
The butter
And brought it to
His Majesty;
The King said,
"Butter, eh?"
And bounced out of bed.
"Nobody," he said,
As he kissed her
Tenderly,
"Nobody," he said,
As he slid down the banisters,
"Nobody,
My darling,
Could call me
A fussy man -

BUT
I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!"

Definitely cream on the BA website. Somebody needs to tell the ASA.

T8191

And who, may I ask, applied the Cream and Jam incorrectly? Artistic licence is no excuse ... how will foreigners learn the correct application sequence when BA itself wilfully misleads them?

S_W_S

There's 3 sandwiches there too, someone get on the phone to them quick .

flybymonkey

That is officially regarded as very poor etiquette.


"Devon and Cornwall disagree. The Queen's pastry chefs have revealed they follow the Devon pattern - cream first, then jam."

Cornwall is wrong about scones – it's cream first, THEN jam - The Oldie

PGberkshire

They also say full English, yet serve it WITHOUT bacon......
ASA needs to make this a class action case
