I'm trying to remember the name of one i used to have which was particularly gorgeous. I think it came in a sort of rum and raisin flavour.

what about Viscounts they were mint flavoured, did they have an orange flavoured one too?

Mmmmm trio. I used to eat all the choc off, then all the toffee stuff off, then quietly lose the biscuit

Was always deeply disappointed if I got a penguin instead or (bleugh) blue riband!

yes they did possumhead and a lovely laydee waltzing on oversized biscuit in advert. they came in packs, sort of overlapping...foil wrapped....
very refined for a 70s biscuit.

all you are missing is the word to click on... so after the html you need a forward slash followed by the word to click on (this) then the closed bracket.
Sorry off the point of biscuits now!!!

gotcha. hope i have something to link soon. Must to bed. dd, dh and dog all snoring. just me and the dishwasher still going...

one final biscuit thought

a chocolate garibaldi?! what were they thinking? no wonder that bit the dust.

but as an adult I've discovered the joy of drinking tea through a penguin.

an australian choirboy showed me how to do that in the early 90s. times have changed. today all i have is a soggy half packet of choco-leibniz left out in the rain by eastern europeans.

Oh yes I saw whatshername do that on Graham Norton, Foxes classics are good for this too.
