| Lee, nice to hear from you...

[Lee]:
Ah, thankee, kind Sir. :-)

[Geoff]:
| It is a particularly British delicacy, originally linked to 
| the West Country
| - Somerset, Devon, Cprnwall but now quite often offered in many towns 
| and villages in tea rooms etc. especially for tourists.
| 
| It consists of scones, usually a couple and often fruit with 
| cream, normally
| clotted cream and jam plus a drink, usually a pot of tea. 
| They are very 
| more-ish and dangerous to people on calorie-controlled diets.
| :-)

[Lee]:
But, but, no chocolate????  Horrors! <Look of Horror!>

Oh--well...I'll bring my own chocolate sauce to put on the fruit, or melted
chocolate to slather on the scones.

Smile,

Lee
