Mumsnet biscuit discussion quoted in 'Time'

[morningpaper]

Actually it is banging on about our hundreds of swine flu parties:

"Parents in Britain have long held "chicken pox parties" at the beginning of summer so that children can catch the disease at a convenient time."

"The British press has reported that discussions about Swine Flu parties first began in earnest on the website mumsnet.com, a web portal for decidedly middle class British mothers (one of the most active forums this week: "Crucial biscuit question - which are posher: Rich Teas or Custard creams?)"

OMG can you catch swine flu from custard creams????

Not sure if the cheesecheese comment directed my way but I don't think I'm overthinking this.

Its not a coincidence that MNHQ start a frivolous thread (never seen it happen before) which then gets quoted in the press.

So, just curious ...

When I started work at HM C&E the 'Jaffa' case was actually a teaching case. It is in the law now. I was a question in my VAT Law exam.

but elfonthetopshelf I wouldn't dunk any biscuit in my hot drink with possible the exception of a ginger nut as they are rock hard.
IMO a chocolate bar is something you buy in the newsagent or garage like a Mars, Cadbury or Galaxy Caramel, Double Decker, Twirl, Boost.
A chocolate biscuit is one usually found in a multipack in the supermarket and not usually sold separately like a penguin, kitkat, club, caramel wafer, rocky robin etc.

mmmmmm, ginger nuts.
