I suspect my work collegues are playing a despicable joke...fig rolls... what the very f***

I do not pay into a biscuit fund for travesties such as FR & yesterday's CC!

Oh my, that takes me back to the days when I used to nab one of these from the baby supplies to gnaw with a cuppa rather than head out to the shop for biccies of an evening. Although, I admit a preference for Liga, I want my Liga!

Ginger stem with a chocolate top. I like my work collegues again.

The whole chocolate on the top or the bottom debate has kicked off again

I don't care what they say, the chocolate is the top

Agreed!

No-one wants a sticky chocolate bottom!

Am not wholly convinced I would want a sticky chocolate top either.

Well i've never sufferred a sticky chocolate top yet, you just need to improve your technique!

A shopping trip to top up the biccy tin in Pudsey has unearthed McVities Chocfilled Thins which could save us all from sticky tops and bottoms or even poor technique.

As you were people.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it...

Today was a good day - I bought and ate Lemon Puffs.

You can't go wrong with a packet of Ginger Nuts and a brew.

Have always wondered has anyone actually ever eaten Shortbread willingly and not at Christmas? Generations of little kids traumatised by being forced to eat this bland biscuit/cake mix...

Blasphemy! Shortbread- 3 ingredients: the perfect ratio of butter to sugar and flour to make it all stick together. It holds up well when dunked in a cuppa. And is even available shaped like scottie dogs!

If fact, shortbread represents the high-point of biscuit technology.

Shortbread was the first biscuit I learned to bake

Dunked Shortbread???!!! The horror! If there was a Geneva Biscuit Convention it would be surely a war-crime!

No, it's permissible, so long as you don't actually drop the shortbread in the cup of tea. And of course the no tea bags can be left in said mug once the milk is added.
