00:34but I would generally say scone. I don't think there is a proper way, it depends whether you're

00:44way I use. I just think it's easier to put the jam on and then the cream will go on the top. A lot of

00:52cream. And the queen would probably go scone, like vase or vase. I'm not really that bothered.

00:58As long as I can eat it, we're fine.
