More like muffins then?

Just in case there are any other readers out there who aren't deviants I posted a genuine question about where the English food product called "crumpet" might be purchased in Hau Hin. So far no response.
HHTel - thank you for the tip re Villa but I've already looked there with no success. Incidentally I always thought a pikelet was something completely different to a crumpet - more like a small pancake. It certainly is in Oz. I live and learn about the North!

Mrs BB has just told me that they are available in Hua Hin Shopping Mall.

I can't swear that she's correct, but I do remember stopping her buying me some a couple of weeks ago. Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks for that - I'll go look today and report back!

I suppose next question will be "are there shops in Hua hin that can process some old vcr tapes?"

There are crumpets on the recordings but they need to be processed....... :banghead:

Would Mrs. Hyacinth Buckét serve crumpets with her afternoon tea? Would Onslow eat them? (R.I.P.)

I think we need to set some ground rules for this thread.
Yes, it would have been nice from the start, and it's a 'no brainer' that many posts can be ambiguous to the point of being misinterpreted fairly easily (and readers shouldn't be having to infer or make guesses on this), hence admin's declaration on dual meaning thread titles and ambiguity....it's all there if you read but that seems to be asking too much these days from a certain section.

My Mother used to call them pikelets in Nottingham so perhaps it's a Midlands thing. It confused me as a child as it clearly said crumpets on the packet!

Spitfire - it was a "no brainer" from the start (except for people such as you!) that the question was posted under "feeding time" and actually referred to food!
Cretins with dirty salacious minds thought it funny to hijack the thread!
I still don't have a sensible answer to a sensible question!
Idiots all!

Why didn't you give more info on your OP so as to appear unambiguous?

Is it because you think everyone would/will understand you in your arrogance instantly despite your lack of communication so that you think you just have to write a smart-ass one liner as an OP?

I could be more impolite but it might get edited. Who the fcuk do think you are? :roll:

Seeing as people are unlikely to post negatives and are usually helpful to these type of question, from that I would personally infer that the answer is no.
