Much as I love everything Cornish and try and visit at least once a year, I'm 'Devon' when it comes to Cream Teas.
In my 'logic' - if I have a Jam sandwich, I'd put butter on first, then Jam. Cream is just another form of butter, so that goes on first, then Jam on top.
I accept that, like most things, my logic may be flawed.......
