Pull up a chair and help yourself to tea and biscuits. What's your favourite biccie, johnossian?

Mouse

Welcome indeed, and a great first post! Moriarty, it's time for your ow. "Ow." Thank you.  :)

johnossian

Thank you all for the very kind welcome.

I must say, I am rather partial to a nice little Viscount. Mint version, obviously.

For those who are "not local", let's have a look and see what NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com can tell us about those...

Quote from: "NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com"The Viscount design consists of a circular crunchy, slightly gritty biscuit base, with a small disc shaped blob of minty cream on top all covered in a fairly useful milk chocolate. Each biscuit is then wrapped in a square of colour coded foil, green for mint and orange for ... orange. Nowadays the foil also has words Viscount on it. The skilled Viscount eater will flatten out the foil and use it to make a small model or trinket.

Viscounts of old were highly regular affairs with their cream filling extending very close to the biscuit edge but today's Viscount seems to a bit chucked together. The review biscuit is by no means atypical with most of the packet looking like they had been in some sort of biscuit construction fight
.
Excellent choice!  :D

Have to say I'd go with the mint too.

Now mouse, you must show constraint, you know too many biscuits are bad for you. :D

What? Most Marketplace sellers on Amazon rule big time. I have bought tons and tons of stuff at very low prices over the past few years, stuff that I probably couldn't have afforded if it weren't for them. It's those sellers that try to make money with releases that are (supposedly) out-of-print that are at best to be avoided.

I was only joking (wordplay based on the army rank "Private" and the fact that "Sellers" is a valid surname). Ignore me.  :)

Do you normally put them on ebay then?

Geetar

Nah, they have their own MySpace page.


Actually, it's a double page.

Can anyone access the myspace page or is it for members only  ?
