To think Nicola Sturgeon has just started (or reignited) a war?

After all, if a Jaffa Cake were a biscuit, it would be called a Jaffa Biscuit.

Jaffa Cake = cake, vote yes

Jaffa Cake = biscuit, vote no

Which is yes and no?

The options are YABU or YANBU, not Yes or No!

I was watching that!

Not often I see history being made, but I know I'll look back on this day and say, "I was there".

Do you know that for accountants that’s an interview question based on tax treatment? Genuinely been asked it once. Do you my personal or professional view?

Didn't the judgement boil down to if it is originally soft and goes hard when it is 'off', then it's a cake.

If it is originally hard and goes soft when it is 'off', it's a biscuit.

It also amuses me that a plain Gingerbread has no VAT, however if he wears three (approx) chocolate buttons then VAT applies.

So, fig rolls then....?

I’d say you eat it in a biscuit situation, not a cake situation. So I say it’s a biscuit.

Cakes go hard.
Biscuits go soft.
Thems the rules.

The options are YABU and YANBU, not Yes and No.

And, Garibaldi?

I thought it was announced in the year or so it was a cake?

I've clearly missed something - whats the connection to NS

It's technically a cake, but it's eaten as a biscuit and sold in the biscuit section.

I wish they'd remove the voting buttons from AIBU.

Just be glad you weren't asked about smoked salmon and kippers!

(FYI smoking salmon is zero rated as smoked salmon is classed as a new product. Smoking herring is standard rated as kippers are not classed as a new product - despite it having a different name. VAT rules are nonsensical)

Love the concept of a 'biscuit situation'

Jaffa cakes are neither cake nor biscuit, they are an abomination and should be banned forthwith.

Sorry for confusion - YANBU = it's a cake. YABU = it's a biscuit.

Presumably there should also be a option, but that would just be confusing ...

What does Sturgeon have to do with this? No, don’t bother, I don’t care, I can’t abide the whining little shit.
Although if she stuck to pontificating on jaffa cakes instead of trying to tear the country apart and ruin Scotland, I would celebrate!

Somone referred to the Jaffa Cakes VAT court case in the context of the difficulty of setting clear rules for people to follow, and she replied that she hadn't heard of the case but as far as she was concerned it's a biscuit.

...that last post was for Babdoc and Redglitter and anyone else puzzling over the connection between NS and Jaffa Cakes...

Re NS is this something to do with ‘When is a cafe a restaurant?’ ?

Also, Wagon Wheels? What are they then, hmmm?

If it was Tunnocks she'd be all over it.
