Scrumping - A peculiarly english verb?
I wondered what peoples definitions of scrumping might be? To me its always been used in one specific context. It is the stealing of apples without the owner's consent. I've never used it in context of other fruits or indeed other types of theft. Its always stood alone for me as a peculiarly english verb for which no other use could be made. Does anyone use it in another context or can they help me to establish the origin of the word?

Personally, I'd never come across it before, so thanks.
