Scrumping is not an American word. I learned it in Suffolk, England when I was walking my dog in the nearby orchard a few years ago. A fellow dog walker was embarrassed to be surprised by me as he crunched an apple he'd plucked from a nearby bough, apologising for his 'scrumping'. Today I had an awkward moment with the orchard owner when I was again walking my dog on the way to post my mailart. He kept looking at my postcard and the suspect message! I have posted the mailart to my neighbour.
