Don’t worry your pretty little head with it, keep working on making fire and knapping flint in your cave mongo xx

Just from a logical point of view (with no dogs in the fight/extra toes/a penchant for piracy/inbreeding/wishing for independence etc etc) surely the jam is easiest to spread in a thin layer directly onto the scone and then dollop a mountain of cream on top rather than dollop the cream on and then wipe it back off with the sticky jam knife?
Can’t believe this is even an argument - idiocy of the highest order

Here in Devon we just give the knife a lick before it goes in the jam pot- just make sure she's not watching

So while I've been in bed my thread has been hi-jacked by a few insomniacs
But, I'm with you Dan and your explanation.
However, I am concerned that no delegates from Cornwall have expressed their views. Maybe you scared them off
So here is Essex we can do it either way because we all like a 'cream tea' treat

However, if we are 'on tour' down the West Country we have to be careful which way we do it so as not to offend our hosts

A very diplomatic response!

The last time I had a Devonshire Tea (in Devon), the order of the cream /jam became a very secondary concern.
Turned out there was no soap in the staff /customer toilet.

Lets just say the exit velocity was very impressive.
