Quite right. In fact, before going through passport control there's an entry test on aristocrats and crumpet etiquette.

Marmite only really works on a toasted nobbly. (End slice of a loaf of bread).

Absolutely! We don't go much for sweet stuff here, babies get addicted to Vegemite at a very early age. Applied with a very light touch of course. I've been told Americans spread it on thickly like jam, but that's not on.
In truth I have never tried it.

Each to their own; for my missus and I it’s marmite soaked crumpets every time. Although marmalade makes a showing every now and then.

I would like to take this moment to shout out for the Great English Muffin, Crumpets are not as quintessential as the Regal English Muffin.

Crust is the top, bottom, sides and ends of the bread.... The heel is just the end.

Is “treat” a metaphor for “thumb”?

In which case, yes, here you go … good boy πŸ•
