What do you mean with a "crompet" in UK?
One of our customers from UK visitted our office years ago. We went to have food and to drink after work in the evening. He drank a lot.
He whispered to me "(She is a) Crompet." repeatedly when he saw a girl or woman several times on his way back to his hotel. I guess it sounded crompet, but might have been clompet. I can't distinguish r and l in hearing though I can pronounce them respectively.
Please answer the above question and help me.

Almost certainly "crumpet" - a British term used by males to refer to an attractive girl. E.g. "She's a nice bit of crumpet!" = "She's a very pretty/attractive female!"
Crumpet is an item of food - hence the analogy - "She's tasty!"
