Pedant?

I do have a neat solution to the Cornish / Devon cream tea problem.

Cut the scone into two halves. Potentiall upset both counties by buttering both halves, then add cream then jam to one half. to the other half add jam then cream. Put them together, and hey presto!

Just hope they will fit into your mouth.

If there is still any dispute about which half should be on top / bottom, turn the scone sideways. The downside of this is that it will be even harder to fit into mouth, in which case lie down, and get handy handmaiden or slave to feed it to you, Roman style.

More to the point cornish pasties were now originally made in devon! I was in plymouth at the time and you should see all the cornish anger! One of the most biggest trolls Ive seen in the west country...

Didn't an original pasty contain meat at one end and jam at the other?

Lunch and dessert in one?

Yes it did , the crimping crust on the edge were for the miners to hold in the breaks, to stop the dirt going on the pie when they were eating it, as thier hands were so filthy from the tin and silver mining down there....

And James bond used to eat one with a vodka martini shaken not stirrred........

Yesh and he used to give Mish moneypenny a nibble of it too, cream first jam on top.......

But its alleged that sean connery likes lamb lunches and legoland too heres the video evidence....

I recently noticed that the Royal Mint were describing their "Diamonds are Forever" Bars as "Sean Connery's last Film outing as 007". As the film premiered in 1971 and Sean Connery re-appeared in 1983 as 007 in Never Say Never Again,I duly notified them of their ERROR and politely suggested they might "reward" me with just a silver 1oz Diamonds are Forever bar as it seemed quite a "Glaring" mistake on their part.They duly thanked me but said they would decline my "Reward" request.I do feel slightly miffed and why did I bother,but nevertheless wished to air this to forum members.Was my request unjustified?

There is an interesting theory that his last outing as James Bond was in The Rock.
