Miss Crumpet

At home

Trying to explain to the French why one wouldn't use this expression in English was entertaining to say the least!

Although made in the UK they don't travel well.

Mmmmm - I love crumpets. It's always funny when translations don't work out as intended.

'Almost as British as the Queen' translates much better than 'Miss Crumpet'. (chortle)

Some things just don't translate, however I do like a bit of crumpet!

Hmmm, I see what you mean. She sounds like someone from an Agatha Christie novel :)
