    I used to shop in Norman’s,  remember Stormin’ Norman,  or was it just a Cornish shop?  all of their loose products were in bins you scooped it out yourself,  much less packaging, but Elf ‘n Safety put a stop to that.

    I saw a bloke walking around Asda with his girlfriend last week. Neither had masks on and they didn't use the hand gel. He spent most of the time openly rummaging around in his pants, front and back. People are manky.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Yuk 

    Just been reading back, wish I'd done it earlier, now I'm late.

    Centre politics and I really like chocolate chip cookies and macaroons, the English sort on rice paper, not those little multi-coloured French ones.

    Steve,ESK is still going strong no buyer

    I may even get down there next year then! Although now with Chalk farm just up the road it hardly seems worth going down there. It's easy enough to walk up to Chalk Farm - and it's a local business.

    I quite like some of the fancy French ones @Busy-Lizzie but not too often.  Love old fashioned coconut macaroons and they're so easy to make.   Trouble with American cookies is the excessive amount of sugar and they don't seem to be able to do normal sizes any more.  All far too large.  OTT all round.

    Hard left for me - plain digestive  a good dunking biscuit.

    And I loved Corbin's manifesto took back what the Tories had stolen for their mates, far better than the Tory light Labour party you have now and under Blair.

    What a choice the Tories or Tory light Labour. Time for proportional representation in England to break the cycle or move to Scotland  and re-join the EU when they get independence  :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    ..yep, saw the scarecrows..I come back that way from Sainsbury's so I can give my car a run once a week - I thought that they were real until I realised it was 7pm on a Friday.

    Just thought I’d dunk into the biscuit chat…

    Organic digestives from Waitrose (can’t remember the brand) and a box of Border “two packs” from Costco are my go-to biscuits. 

    I like my biscuits to be sweet but have a definite salty tinge to them.
