Sigh.

It was 'crumpet'.

Here's the original clue "She was a truly scrumptious little thing, but wouldn’t spare you a bit, dear."


First part 'a truly scrumptious little thing'; British slang for a woman of sexual desire.

Second part 'spare you a bit'; a crumb. And 'dear', pet. Crumb-pet.

Sorry. I'll go back to lurking this thread.

You don't have to. Just because I didn't get it doesn't mean it was ungettable (far from it). I think it's quite good now you spell it out. You should have stuck with it and given another letter or two until someone got it.

Yeah...the self-doubt took over.

Posting on this thread is like that nightmare where you're up on stage in front of thousands of people holding a violin and it occurs to you "But I don't know how to play the violin!"

You could PM Gramsci to come round and beat me up and insist I never play again.

You could pick up 'crumpet' and carry on.

You could pick up 'truly scrumptious' and pretend I never got involved.

I think we should go with "crumpet", not least because "Truly Scrumptious" was proving such a bugger to work into a clue.
