This sounds like something British that I do not know about, and so do not understand why this is interesting. Any help?
[2008] 25 September, Sweden.
At the Design Museum on Sunday morning in Gothenburg I find myself sitting by a fire point labelled AB SKUMM but alas we have no camera.

This is a scone thing, right? Which means it's made with heavy cream, the heaviest, fattest there is. Which is why scones are so irresistible.
So, am I seeing correctly that someone has added butter to it?

Also I like my scones super fresh. Otherwise they are also dryer and gona bit hard. It's.no good leaving them in the cupboard a few days

Toasted scone, cut in half,with butter n jam....ok

Thats what we fed our southern armies on when we laid siege to Yorkshire's Castle Mouldy.

There we go. Maybe that's why I'm incredulous. The last one I had was probably made that same morning.

Why the heck would you not?
There are only two choices, otherwise they’re too dry:
1. Butter
2. Jam and cream (or, more controversially, cream and jam)
Cheese scones especially call out for butter.

HANG ON HERE......
Why does one toast one's scone? It's a thick, crumbly, thing-a-mie. One only toasts what one wants to crunch in one's mouth.
And that's only likely to happen with more slender stuff (thin-sliced bread), or more bread-like stuff (like bagels).

Ahh well, once theyve dried a bit, they slice in half with sharp knife and toast ok. Especially if you are gentle with them, they dont crumble.

from History Boys, in a portion of the script not used in the film, one parent says of her son
Mrs. Crowther: He's a lovely-looking lad. Get him in a bathing costume and he'd walk it.
What does "walk it" mean? Is it like the American phrase "work it", meaning "look good and make efforts to get people to notice"?

I'm more likely to ' limp it' myself.

In a mischievious attempt to confuse DiB further, To walk it = "to piss it". As in "piece of piss" lol
