I wonder what this weeks chat will be about. I think the anticipation is better than the outcome most weeks but gives us something to talk about in the absence of a game .
No, jam first.Sorry mate but your wife is right this time.
No Toasted with butter.No, jam first.
Jam doesn’t belong in anything
Ruins them.Doughnuts?
Jammie dodgers?
Ruins them.
Cream tea !!!
Contentious issue that.
I like Jam first but my Devon born wife says that’s sacrilege.
They get very defensive about it, for some inexplicable reason.
The cream tea and the pasty were both invented in Devon no matter what the lot across the border say. They’ve even nicked St. Petroc from Devon.
Having said all that, Devon people still have an affinity with those down the road.
A bit like Medway folk secretly loving the Isle of Sheppey.
I don’t mind a normal ringed doughnut as long as it’s not wrinkled and the icing is good. But inject chocolate or Nutella in a doughnut and you have a good’un.You would prefer a hole in a doughnut rather than jam?
What has this world come to.
And a jammie dodger with no jam. Well that’s just a dodger.
Treacle mines mate.Not sure about the cream tea but in the case of the pasty, I understood that the crimped part originated from miners in tin mines needing to hold it by that section and then throw that part away due to the natural arsenic that attached to their fingers.
Were there many tin mines in Devon?
Black arse RoversTreacle mines mate.
Devon is famous for mining treacle.
Where do you think treacle comes from?
Suffolk well and large amount of sugar is grown in these parts. I would think they use some of that to produce the treacle which is also I think produced in Suffolk. I am sure there is far more links with treacle here than in Devon.Treacle mines mate.

Your treacle is surface treacle.Suffolk well and large amount of sugar is grown in these parts. I would think they use some of that to produce the treacle which is also I think produced in Suffolk. I am sure there is far more links with treacle here than in Devon.
If that's what floats your boat I suppose.Your treacle is surface treacle.
It’s vastly inferior to deep mined treacle.
You can lick the walls.
