Quite why the Scottish National Gallery insists on putting this untouchable furniture in places where the public can so easily, you know, lean against them or rest a bag on them, is beyond me. Nevertheless, I enjoy the game. Play along if you're ever in the vicinity.

The Scottish National Gallery have antique pieces of furniture dotted around the place. Touching them is verboten, but there is no signage to say that, so the game is to touch one such piece and force a gallery attendant to look up from their phone and politely ask you to desist.

Only if you follow the (incorrect) Devonian School of jam/cream application. The Cornish Method is the only true and acceptable way: after the butter it's jam first, then cream. This is also the correct order for a Victorian sponge cake, btw. And scone rhymes with 'gone', not 'cone'.
