If I drink Irish breakfast tea with my crumpets, does that make me a member of the IRA?

Also: what exactly are crumpets, anyway? Why do they cost more than English muffins? Is the extra fee because they've already gone to the trouble of separating the halves for you?

What do the English call regular muffins?
If they call them muffins, what do they call English muffins?

Oh no.

Then what do you Brits call (American) cupcakes?

Cupcakes. To us they're all the same.

You mean to tell me that you use the same word for TWO (2) different things?

That's very offensive. I'm literally taken aback.

In answer to your question, yes.

They do not have the Simmons Beautyrest mattress in England, though as a weird coincidence (or something more) they have something called the "Simons Beastfeast Wuttress"...but don't ask me what it is or what it does, it's illegal even to speak its name in this country and I have already put myself in jeopardy just by mentioning it. I hope you're thankful! Send me money.
