    No,not chocolate on biscuits JennyJ.Oh he loves ginger biscuits, youngest daughter bought him some for Father's Day. I got him some more of the same one for our wedding anniversary last week. I love chocolate cake, chocolate as long as it has something crunchy added,ice cream (salt caramel as long as it has the crunch, not just the sauce.

    I do like ginger biscuits. Never buy biscuits at all these days. I occasionally make Fairings when I'm desperate

    Have I got this right? I am double vaccinated.
    I can go to the supermarket or some worse indoor, close contact place where people congregate and if I get pinged via the app, I can ignore the app and not isolate. If however I am contacted by track and trace, and asked to isolate, I must isolate and if I don't it's breaking the law. That seems bad enough to me. Why the difference? OK - I know why - the app is voluntary, so its advice is just that advice. Track and trace isn't voluntary, so they issue instructions and you have to follow those instructions.

    What then makes it abso-bloody-lutley insane is that I can now jump on a plane, go anywhere I like (as long as in amber and green zones), mix whereever and with whomsoever, under whatever conditions I like and can come back to this country and not have to isolate. Obviously no pinging ,and no track and trace abroad.

    Frustratingly mixed messages and just insane.

    I dislike Cummings and the man's ego, but I think he's right in as much as this bunch just doesn't have a clue.

    Sorry about interrupting the biscuit chat. I tend to go for [plain and simple - shortbread is the ideal, maybe a hob-nob.

    I mourn the passing of Lincolns and pat-a-cake. But arrowroots can happily be consigned to history: they used to be kept behind the bar in pubs, given to dogs and mewling children left outside.

    We call those iced gems too. Fancy biscuits are in boxes  or tins 😉😋😋
    Love digestives and the chocolate ones. Hobnobs, custard creams, jammy Dodgers,  Oooh and shortbread 😋
    But definitely not ginger nut, bourbon or rich tea 😕 And those ones that look like dead flies

    I was under the impression the government had a experienced advisory team,  scientists, virologists and so on,  I wouldn’t expect them to have a clue,  are they all trained in that line of work?  I doubt it.   Or do you mean the advisory team haven’t a clue? 
    Take no notice of Cummings,  everything that dribbles out of his mouth is not worth even listening too. Just look at his body language,  eyes everywhere, hands all over his face.  I dislike him as much as I do Corbin and that’s a lot.
