Jamie Oliver Makes Cream Teas Like A Janner.

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has sparked outrage among the people of Cornwall after posting a video on his Facebook page showing how to make scones the "Devon way" by spreading cream on the scone before the jam. This goes against the Cornish tradition of spreading jam first, followed by cream.

Oliver's video, which was captioned "Because it only feels appropriate that we bake scones at some point this weekend...!" to celebrate the coronation weekend, has not gone down well with locals in Cornwall, despite his connection to the county.

Comments left on the Cornish News Facebook page showed that many people were unhappy with Oliver's unconventional method. Kelly wrote: "He needs to leave things that don’t concern him alone." While Tim added, "I'm more disappointed with the size of the actual scone than which way the cream is." Ivan T said "He ought to know better. That's the last over-priced ready meal I buy!"

The cream tea debate has been ongoing for many years, with jam first being supported by King Charles, his mother the late Queen Elizabeth, and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Finally, Oliver commented on his video, asking his followers "Are you a cream then jam, or a jam then cream kinda person???" This sparked further debate among his followers, with some agreeing with him and others sticking to the traditional Cornish method.

  Dogger Airlifted To Treliske Hospital With Bum Stuck In Car Window. A man participating in an outdoor swinger party in Cornwall found himself in a rather awkward situation. The individual, known as Dave, accidentally trapped his exposed rear end in an electric car window of a Ford C-Max while "dogging." The incident occurred at the North Cliffs car park, located between Portreath and Godrevy. The car park is situated in an "area of outstanding natural beauty," sparking outrage among locals who are shocked to learn about the scandalous activities taking place on their local clifftops. The mishap unfolded when the man accidentally stepped on the electric window switch while attempting to maneuver himself. As a result, the window wound up, catching his bare buttock in a painful and embarrassing embrace. A witness, who doesn't want to be named, said, "Dave and Bridget were getting it on and there were about ten of us watching. It all happened so quickly; one

Truro Locals Slam King Charles Statue, Saying It Looks Like Mr Potato Head.

  Truro Locals Slam King Charles Statue, Saying It Looks Like Mr Potato Head. TRURO, UK — The recent unveiling of a statue commemorating the upcoming coronation of King Charles III in Truro, Cornwall, has been met with widespread ridicule from the community, with many residents claiming that the artwork bears an uncanny resemblance to the popular children's toy, Mr Potato Head. The statue, which was unveiled last week in the heart of the city and cost taxpayers half a million pounds, was intended to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, scheduled to take place this weekend. The clay artwork, commissioned by the Malpas City Council and created by local artist Peter Pardlington, stands at 5 feet and portrays the soon-to-be-crowned monarch. However, the artwork has quickly become a joke for Truro residents, who argue that the statue is closer to Mr Potato Head than to the future king. "Half a million for that! It looks like something my 2-year-old son made!" said loc

Mandatory Tin Foil Hat Law To Combat Global Warming.

New Law Will Force Britons To Wear Tinfoil Hats Outdoors To Combat Global Warming. The UK government has announced plans to mandate the wearing of tinfoil hats outdoors in an attempt to combat climate change. This decision comes after a recent scientific study conducted by the Climate Institute (CI), revealed that if every individual in the UK, wore a tinfoil hat outdoors, the reflection of sunlight, away from the earth would significantly reduce the earth's temperature, thereby reversing climate change. The project will cost somewhere in the region of £2 billion pounds. A 43-year-old unemployed man from Cornwall, named Steve Heller, has already started wearing a tinfoil hat and believes that everyone should do the same. He said, "I wear my hat all the time. It's like masks. If you were seen wearing a mask, people would say you were stupid. Then a few months later, everyone was wearing masks. I think that if we all wore tinfoil hats for about a year, it would be enough to
