Crumpet etiquette

1. Never eat more than two in one serving.
2. Allow the butter to melt first before applying the jam of your choice.
3. Marmite should never be in the same room as a crumpet.
4. Pick up with the thumb and middle finger.
5. Before eating, sing the national anthem.

In 6th grade we were asked if we’d like to learn to play a musical instrument, although I really wanted to learn to play the trumpet but being the gentleman that I was/am and there was only one trumpet and Sheila wanted to learn it too, I chose the tuba the only other instrument left. OMG…crumpet, not trumpet.😲🫢

I'd go with 1 and 2. I can't stand Marmite, but Vegemite is my crumpet spread of choice, followed by plum jam, golden syrup or cane sugar. I pick mine up with thumb and first finger.
I can do without the national anthem too.

In England the aristocrat's use the forefinger for pointing at things, rather than having to talk to or explain anything to the riff raff , stopping them from wearing their tongue out.oh and for picking their nose
