Enjoying Paddington! I want a marmalade sandwich now, don't you?

OooooOOOoo... yes please

Crumpets or toast with marmalade?

Toast, of course! Marmalade with crumpets is an offence against nature, not to say probably illegal.

Would you allow a small amount of toasted cheese on your crumpet? I would, but I can understand those who would be against it.

I put all manner of things on crumpets. Cheese....bring it on! You can stuff loads of marmite or peanut butter down the crumpet holes

Thick rind marmalade on crisp toast allowed to go cold before buttering. Or what is known in our house as hotel toast

Ever owned a duffel coat?

I did indeed, in my younger days,
