---The phrase "tea and crumpets" was I believe, first
mentioned in the ancient Book of Crump back in the
12th century by the sage and onion gatherer poet
WIlhem de Marmalude. IN a strange dialect only known
to himself and few followers he thus describes his
first meeting with FHartley Forfesters- the Treacle
bearer.
" Doush thou be lumpit,
Me olde dear crump
It maketh me slump
IN me glope wiv tea
An crumpet play lood
On the pink trumpet"
