this has bugged me...
round at a friends house recently, she opened a packet of biscuits to give the children. The first few were broken, not badly just like in two or three biscuits. She threw them in the bin and then shared out some of the others. I was astounded. Is she extremely posh? Is it me? What's wrong with eating them? (She lives in an ordinary house seems ordinary etc. Even if she didn't want to hand them out which I could understand if you are uncertain about politeness why not just put them to one side or in a biscuit tin?)
