Go for it Pet. Can't wait for your explanation of the term 'crumbs' to people from the colonies !
Blimey ! ( a contraction of the original oath 'God Blind Me').Post edited by Urban_Tribesman at 2014-06-20 20:36:23The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.

Not doing so my friend. Just can't wait for Pet's explanation. Crumbs is one of those quintessential British phrases that is oh so hard to explain unless you are...well, British, I suppose.
Have you checked out my post of a Yes Sir video from a BBC Glastonbury support program from about 10 years ago, as I see you were interested in this song the other dayThe Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.

I believe this may be close?? https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071011105512AAJPcvN
Funny, when I enter just, crumbs, it goes on talking about, pie/bread crumbs. Darn it! there was another UK English term meaning, can't think of it now.

It just means "gosh!". It doesn't particularly signify approval or disapproval.

I would agree HJ as Gosh being the closest approximation to Crumbs.
Nothing to do with bread Banana as far as I am aware.
Your link was interesting as I had forgotten 'struth' was a constriction of 'it's the truth'.
Blimey is now seen as 'polite' swearing. The type you could use in front of a vicar ( even though it is, strictly, blasphemous). Interestingly, the term 'bollocks' and 'bugger' seem to be losing their impact as well and can be heard coming from otherwise quite innocent looking people.The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.

I think that I intended to express surprise.If we're the best, it's probably because most British people don't care about such things. Also -- homophobic attacks continue in London. (There was an especially bad one in Vauxhall recently.) I can't help wondering: if we're the best, how bad is everyone else?My website: http://petjeffery.co.uk/

Hello-I read this and it made me very sad then angry. I mean homophobic attacks continue in London?! Why don't your elected officials make this a "Hate Crime," we have that here in the United States. Why don't people demand that this issue be addressed? I mean, this is the 21st Century! This MUST be stopped!
I have a question, if you are a British citizen, how does one go about writing to your H.R.H. the Queen?
Could I write to your Majesty, I wonder how would I address the envelope?mahogany= my agony
