Important one for Brits: The Great Scone Map

@infobeautiful As a Scot in Cornwall I can say that both ma haim and the pointy end both pronounce this skôn. This isn't the issue, it's the order of jam and cream here that causes issues. Get it wrong and they'll shut the borders until there's an apology.

I was born in St Agnes, Cornwall, but I'm a fully paid up member of the "cream first" brigade as if you jam first, the cream just slips off it 🤷

I’ve always though that a cream-jam emulsion would solve all the problems (ducks) 🤣

@Wen @TCMuffin @infobeautiful Cream (clotted of course) on one half, jam on the other, squish together and turn whichever way up depending on the border.

@RosePuckey @TCMuffin @infobeautiful an emulsion has the advantages that (1) you don’t need to make a desperate lunge to reverse your scone as you go over a border and (2) it can be delivered with a suitable squirt gun

What is not to like?

@Wen @TCMuffin @infobeautiful Would that work with a good clotted cream though? Not sure but like the idea.

@RosePuckey @TCMuffin @infobeautiful I think it calls for an experiment or two. I have been contemplating adding a variant of a nail gun for injecting currants (for scone customisation).

@Wen @TCMuffin @infobeautiful This, I have to see.

@RosePuckey @TCMuffin @infobeautiful I will announce it to an unsuspecting world in all its glory when a prototype is developed. Just think, it could do cross border relationships a power of gud. 🤨 The best thing for Northern-Southern diplomacy since, hmm, ‘The Harrying of the North’ or maybe more recently Cromwell?

@Wen @TCMuffin @infobeautiful There is a watery border down here, on one side of the Tamar it's cream, the other it's jam. It could be the reason that Cornwall want independence, well some do.
