One puts the cream, which must be of the finest Cornish clotted on the scone variety, along with a small quantity of strawberry jam.
One may substitute other sweet preserves, such as apricot or blackberry jam.

One beaker of PG Tips for Sir William...



Cheers! Much appreciated! Now for a nice Danish pastry... and maybe some baked goods too! ;-)

Some "joker" may substitute something with a bit of fire, such as a hot lime pickle for the sweet preserve, "just to see the look on great Aunt Mary's face".







Not that I ever did such a thing...


All I can say is it would certainly make the day start with a scream if done at breakfast time - there's not that much difference between lime pickle and lime marmalade is there???

Earl Grey, black, with a slice of lemon floating on top, and a few grains of sugar on the lemon.

I'm not fussy, but such a fine beverage must be served correctly.




Coming up...Rob

Thank you Michael, but I believe I shall stop into the Red Lion for a pint or three before I go to the Carlton. I feel I shall have a need for a nice plate of Bangers and Mash...
