Thank you
I insisted this was The Way Things Should Be and got slapped down. I mean, how do you spread jam on top of cream? It's all squidgy.

I bet they just spoon jam on top of the cream
Scummers.

I guess, looking at the science behind it, when you squish it down, the top squerts out more than the bottom, maybe, I don't know why I think that.
But on the basis of that being true, even though I think I just made it up, if the jam goes on the top, it would squidge out over your hands creating a stain on them. OR, or, because a jam you have to spread and the cream you have to dollop, you need to spread it on a solid surface, and therefore it should go on the bottom. Or, if you really really like Jam, and lots of people do, it's OK if you do, then you could spread it on both sides of the scone and put the clotted cream in the middle.

Scone as in gone = Past Tense
Scone as in cone = pressent and future tense.

In which case deffo the jam on bottom, so the cream creates a buffer between your hands and the jam, which has stain potential.
