This is your punishment.

For failing to have the necessary food items at hand.

You son of a *****.
I've never had a crumpet before, but now I desperately want one. As well as tea. And bratwurst.

Because of this thread, I decided to make some tea. No crumpets, but instead, cookies.
Biscuits?

Yes, biscuits go terribly well with tea.
No, I mean actual cookies. They were right there, so I ate them while making tea.

But, you're right. Tea isn't ready yet, and I do have some biscuits somewhere...

EDIT: Boy, that is some good tea...

Psh. Bread products. Wheat is a terrible thing.

Tea is good, though. I tend to sip it between meals. Usually not black tea, though. I'm a fan of oolong.

Things I learned in this thread:

-What a crumpet is
-That the word "tea" means something different than what is the norm where I live. Your tea actually looks good. Here, it's this clear brown stuff with the taste and consistency of molasses. And it's fucking disgusting and people drink it like water. No wonder the Southern US is full of fatties.

So that's cool.

Currently enjoying a mug of tea with a stack of Jammy Dodgers. Yes, alas we have no crumpets. Also because we're working class the round crumpets are expensive and we sometimes have to settle for the oval shaped pikelets.

Could go for a chocolate digestive right now with this tea...

Why? What does 'tea' mean where you live?

Well, English tea makes me feel sick, and crumpets taste horrible.

I'm english and proud, so try to figure this one out please. No really, please help me, something is not right.
The only logical conclusion is that you're French.

I'm sorry to break this news to you. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathies.
I have a problem, I'm half french but love tea and crumpets. Surely I should only half love them?!

Jammy Dodgers. I love the name as much as I love the biscuit.

You must have the rare genetic 'defect' that makes the French part of you less insufferable than usual.

You're very lucky.

Yeah, I went back and edited my post to be more clear.

Basically, it's this

With an ungodly amount of sugar. I never liked the stuff, even as a kid who enjoyed his sweets too much.

What is Britains obsession with a far less superior piece of cutlery by using that wooden two pronged... I dont even want to call it a fork cause it just looks like some sadist's show horn.

we have forks with four prongs now. and made of this new fangeled material called metal (may have heard of it, inspired a music genre?).

Besides I cant drink tea. My stomach doesnt handle it well and I end up puking and voiding myself from every conceivable hole by the end of the night. I dont know what it is about it. And I always preferred a Scone to a Crumpet.

of course this is all in jest, except for the last part

You don't really need to state when you're joking in a thread predominately populated by the British. We get the more subtle apsects of humour.

Hmm, yes, that is true. Better to be safe than sorry.

I've been warned by the mods a number of time for posts that they thought were offensive, simply because I didn't add a disclaimer at the end.
