I have seen it quoted on here for many years that Tunnocks are to be supported as they support women's rights. I have looked on their website and social media and can see nothing to support this rumour. Does anyone have any evidence? Thanks.

But are you a red tunnocks or a blue tunnocks?

I’m currently a red Tunnocks as I’d somehow lived all these years without knowing blue Tunnocks exist. I now need to make up for that so will be eating as many blue ones as I can lay my hands on, just for equality.
Will that turn me green?

That’s one hell of a trip. Can I come

You’re very welcome. I’m guessing the services ( it’s name still escapes me) will sell all Tunnocks to keep us going on the way.
@Boiledbeetle another fabulous poem. I’m eyeing up my boring chairs now and thinking about some crafting. Blue would match in better though so may have to wait until I find these magical dark chocolate biscuits.

Tebay?

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 12/07/2023 09:46

Tebay. Thank you Arabella.

Dammit, I can only get Tunnocks logs at the Sainsburys of doom in Colliers Wood and now I'm going to have to go and get some as they are just too delicious.

Re biscuits or cakes, I posted this on another thread (why am I always on the cake threads?)

The legislation re VAT zero rated (cake) vs VAT chargeable (biscuits).

"VAT zero rate
Marshmallow teacakes — with a crumb biscuit or cake base topped with a dome of marshmallow coated in either chocolate, sugar strands or coconut

Scottish snowballs — a dome of marshmallow coated with chocolate or coconut, aerated and boiled (not baked), they have a short shelf life and harden rapidly when removed from the packet.

VAT chargeablr
Other types of snowballs such as Swedish snowballs with a longer shelf life"

We then got into a debate on prejudice and xenophobia regarding snowballs.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to order ,many some dark chocolate Tunnocks products, which I didn't know existed. It's for... er, my birthday, yes, that's it, my birthday.

ArabeIIaScott · 12/07/2023 10:19

Its all part of feminists' ultimate evil plot to fill the world with cake. And the people will call 'but some men don't like cake!' and the feminists will say 'we don't care!' and then laugh.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 12/07/2023 10:25

Blimey they’re not cheap on Amazon.

I'm laughing at myself for being surprised at the research Cher has done, you all do so much research on feminist stuff why wouldn’t you on cakes/ biscuits?

Some subjects are vitally important and merit good, thorough research.

I very much hope there is no suggestion that cake (and other baked goods and sweetmeats) are not vitally important.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 12/07/2023 10:36

Totally agree Cher. It’s the first subject I’ve felt able to do more than lurking on whilst learning from you all. Vitally important

SilverDrawer · 12/07/2023 11:27

I don’t mean to boast, but I could smell them baking in half an hour <shameless>

Tebay?

Thank you.

That is the one I had in my head when @Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis mentioned it. But i don't think I'd ever have remembered the name!

Do penguins look shifty or is that just me?

ArabeIIaScott · 12/07/2023 11:54

Tebay has ducks, but no penguins that I'm aware of.

The biscuits or the birds?

Speaking of Penguin biscuits, when I was at university a friend was regularly sent boxes of unwrapped Penguins, seconds from the Crawfords factory a relative worked at. I ate so many of those things!

Croneofakind · 11/07/2023 23:25

Is that your way of saying you identify as a tunnock's? I was joking about it being an identity! Humans aren't biscuits!

My pronouns are Tunnock/Tunnockself.

It's all well enough for you but I was 8 years old. My parents had bought me a cuddly toy bagpipes that looked like a tartan animal with a long nose and tail and four spindly legs. Haggis was on the menu in the restaurant and I asked the waiter what it was. He told me that it was the insides of a bagpipes and I believed him.

I now know that it is far more disgusting than that.

I know they’re very hairy blighters but “disgusting” is a bit much! Skinning them is easier if, like all game, they’ve been hung for a while. Some people wax them but I believe purists disapprove of this.

SidewaysOtter · 12/07/2023 12:09

At the time I emailed them to inform them what the LGB-Alliance was actually about and asked them to clarify if they held a view on trans-rights, and all the said in their reply was "thanks for letting us know".

I’d read that as a bit “Whatevs, hun”. Probably not the win you thought it was, Merls.

If I make those mine too is that enough of us to campaign to take over the T in LGBT for our tunnockselves?

Is it because they shuffle?

We could have our first Tunnocks Pride, or Let Tunnockstummies Speak meeting near Glasgow maybe, on a quiet Main Street in Uddingston maybe

'Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices. The mixture is packed into a sheep’s stomach and boiled.'

Disgusting. I rest my case.
