I think Mumra is on the right track. It depends on the context. After football, no dinner because of too many beers, and needing a rapid snack the gluten-free custard creams I found in the cupboard really hit the spot. I thought they would taste like cardboard. On reflection I think Mrs Mac stocks them for our coeliac friends so I'd best replenish...JM

Although I love (plain) chocolate Leibnitz the really really great news recently was my discovery that Chcolate Olivers were now available again after several years' absence, if you know where to find them....>:D

totally agree about the hob nobs. As Peter Kay said, they are like the marines of the biscuit world and you can dunk them in your tea all long without them breaking off. Unlike Rich Teas, which he calls One Dips!

It is pointless I know, so apologies for bumping it, but.....


Barry, let me get this straight. You went for a chat, they asked you to bring biscuits, the chat became an interview and they offered you a job. They are now sending you photos of themselves eating the biscuits?! How do I get a job there? I know my biscuits!! [Not sure about jam and cream in a *Jammy* Doddger thought....]

Yes, that's exactly what happened. It's pretty sweet. If you know your biscuits, I can only recommend you touch base in the next month and plan for biscuit eating and tea drinking within the next three to secure a position there. From what I can tell, they're expanding.


p.s. My new boss told me he actually contacted the british biscuit appreciation society (or similar) to refine their list of biscuits for meetings, no joke. Go here The Alternative Contact Pageand click on the biccie booker. Please note I gained extra respect in my first message to them by pointing that in fact, a jaffa cake is not legally a biscuit. I just didn't want to start that argument earlier (thanks for bringing it up, SpadeTownBoy :-) )

probably a wise decision to go for the fingers rather than the regular ones,as depending on the size of your cup dunking the whole regular biscuit can sometimes be a problem requiring several goes,whereas the fingers are narrow enough to achieve whole dunking in one go. congratulations on your choice.

    • I've found also that the Nectar lower price hasn't always been applied on 3 recent shops on various items. After the first shop where i noticed (likely happened many times before) I check the Smartshop scanner to see if it's been applied and if it hasn't then photo the shelf-pricing... you then have to get a refund at customer service. Not very efficient/a pain but would have spent over £5 more on 3 items. You won't be able to do this without using Smartshop unless you photograph every item at the shelf then go through them and the items on the receipt. Oh, and to get the refund you must also present the item at the customer service desk (not just the receipt and photo). I had to go to the car first time to recover ice cream.  
    • Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks. 
    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike
