The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides. I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

Tunnocks are Tories and proud donors, they also treat their staff like shit. COVID monitors employed solely to watch employees to ensure social distancing was obeyed and hand washing for designated time. Requiring staff to keep short nails...but asking team leaders to monitor nail length on a regular basis and losing the shift if they think you've grown them too long. Awful company.

Checks recent empty boxs of Tunnocks to see if I missed any hidden notes from staff begging for help...

It will take a while, there's a lot of boxes...

Nope! No help us we are overworked, underpaid, and have had our fingernails removed messages.

I'm also fairly sure that tea cakes can't vote and so whilst the tea cakes may identify as Tory, it won't stop me eating the little globes of loveliness.

It's going beyond insisting on hygiene, it's treating people like they're in a Victorian work house. You can maintain hygiene standards without putting, often women, into financial hardship when they are already frequently on zero hours contracts anyway. Smaller scale but run similarly to Amazon and Sports Direct etc, which I can't support.

Imagine, a food production company insisting on hygiene.

Whatever next.

Double joy! I have tea cakes due within the hour and tea cakes AND caramel wafers tomorrow.

I will interrogate them all! Eventually one of the blighters will succumb to the torture and spill the beans on the political leanings of those in the higher echelons of T Tunnock Ltd!

@SqueakyDinosaur wasabi flavour? 😣 my mouth is going blghh, my brain is going try it try it!

@PonyPatter44 boxes? As in plural?

@LarkLaane currently haven't even got crumbs of a tea cake. I could have ANOTHER caramel wafer, but I'm saving myself.

goes off to check I've actually got some tea cakes coming with my emergency tobacco shop, and that i haven't put them in with tomorrow's actual shop shop.

My inner sloth is preventing me from doing anything. I've exerted all my energy on printing off a copy of all the poems. I just need some red pens now, plus the will which is seriously lacking right now.

I need tea cakes but I'm in the 9-10pm delivery slot! I'd better be more towards the 9 than the 10!

Here for your crumbs of (Tunnocks) wisdom.

My manager brought boxes of Tunnocks teacakes to our team meeting this morning. He is a true ally!

SqueakyDinosaur · 16/08/2023 20:09

I went to Japan a few years back and came back with THREE CARRIER BAGS of different flavoured KitKats. I was a heroine to my nephews and a lunatic to my colleagues ("But WHY would you buy mushroom flavoured KitKats?"). The wasabi ones are actually really nice.

Apologies. Now back to Tunnocks, the one true path.

I found you!

And thanks to @Boiledbeetle‘s wise words, I have added Tunnock’s wafers to the supermarket shop.

I see you followed the tea cake crumbs! I said wise words? Huh I mean I don't remember, but I'll take your word for it!

They have every KitKat ever made in them

Best not!

Cos of megaladonesque vibes and the need for a lot of glue gunnage if you want to make a Kit Kat Halloween costume

Do we need one for kit kats ?

A risk assessment or a thread? I mean with all that mixing in of kit kits from the very first kitkat ever probably needs a risk assessment!

I feel it it important to issue a safety warning. Do not inhale your snowballs. Eat them in a responsible manger.

I may have spent a good part of the last five minutes with watering eyes as I coughed myself silly due to a piece of coconut that wandered during the consuming.

I'll sort a risk assessment for the next thread.

Hope you're ok

They eat guinea pigs in Peru. Some of you will know of my rodentophilia and realise I would never go near that benighted country.

They do online courses, but I find you just don't get the same quality of immersive learning that you would when sat in the middle of a pack of wild bears all giving you the hard stare.

What's all this about crumbs on my chin (singular, so far)?

There are such things as mirrors and tongues and dampened fingers, you know.

And anyone who starts with the "Ooh er Missus!" will get a hard stare. Possibly not as good as Beetle's, but nevertheless...

Ahh, I see you've finished putting away your shopping finally! How many wrappers are in the bin?

Checks chin... No signs of eating. Obviously a pro!

I learned my stare from the best. Those courses on hard stares may be pricey and feature a trip to deepest darkest peru, but they are worth every marmalade sandwich!

Yes, nothing, just blank whiteness. Like the heart of a teacake.

Or click on it.

That worked well didn't it!😆

We will get to the bottom of the Tunnocks mystery! Even if it takes 1000 threads and a 1 000 000 tea cakes!

We will not be defeated!
