Crumpets

Mi granny used to call `em pikelets , she tried to be powsh at times ....

 

I remember the clampets

 

So does my dad & he definitely ain’t posh. Weirdly saw some at tesco yesterday, same as a crumpet but thinner

 

That’s a wonderful thing
My mum calls them that too!

 

Pikelets are different, they are skinny crumpets

Did she have a posh telephone voice?

 

We still have them a lot

 

Oh yeyesssss

Heyloww ??
Leeds Sex too wan sex seven ohhh ,...

 

Crumpet/ pikelets always thought that they were the same, just regional name difference.
It's only since the big companies started making them that the name appears to have been "standardised " as crumpet .
Whatever you call them the thickness is in direct relationship to the price....unless they come from Waitrose when they will be thin and expensive.

 

M&S do a nice sour dough one

 

Probably true but she just couldn`t bear to say the `C` word - far too common ....

 

They're still called picklets in our house !

 

My nan was in Leeds ....
She thought it was more posh to say "silly arse" instead of "silly ass"

 

Everyones Gran had a telephone voice.

 

And mine did.

Pikelets though, not picklets
