No details yet. He says he will post about it at length tomorrow and it will be worth the wait. So this is just a placemarker for the moment.

Quite. Those of us who are regulars here know that this is not a derail.

Exactly, although some posters clearly haven't gotten the memo!

MyDogClive · 05/08/2026 18:35

Oh lord, not another mallow and tunnocks related love in. You are all batshit. How can so many, otherwise intelligent, interesting and educated women be so consistently wrong?

Tunnocks wafers are the snack of disappointment. Like when you are hoping for proper chocolate or decent biscuits and all you get is an bastarding wafer. And mallow is just sickly sweet pointlessness.

I have to question my feminist credentials at times, I really do.

And breathe...

And relax.

And then just accept that it is you that is completely and utterly wrong.

Also, as a Northerner, I must give a shout out for Dandelion and Burdock.

Does anyone now make proper non-alcoholic Dandelion and Burdock that doesn't cost almost as much as champagne ml for ml? Oh, and not "diet", which in my experience tastes of almost nothing.

And while I'm here: because they are almost identical to look at when you are in a hurry, I got some of the Lidl not-a-Tunnock's-wafer-rip-off-honest-guv "Caramel Wafer Bars" made by Tower gate, and they are pretty-nearly as nice and half the price, which surprised me when I got shouted at about them when i got them home. Even Himself admits it after serious trials and sampling.

Bury Market has a stall. Proper Dandelion and Burdock and Sarsaparilla too! The real deal.

Not much help if you are nowhere near though!

Oh dear! Oh double dear! Eau de Noodle will be having a chat with the Police, if there's any justice in the world.

Heather asks himsel
"What shall I do with these collected funds, now that I won't be carrying out the task that generated the funds?"
"Can I use them for my future needs?"
Heather would be a great guest on The Moral Maze.

I have done this extensive research into finding a decent D&B. Fizzy ones are now full of sweeteners and tasteless.
Barrs is full of Acesulfame K and Sucralose
Franklin's is made with sugar and stevia
Ben Shaws is made with saccharin and sucrose
Fentimans have recently started to add stevia to theirs

William Fox do a syrup that you add still or sparkling water to. Pricey.

I tend to go for the Mr Fitzpatricks cordial which is full sugar and less expensive than the Fox one. They also do an excellent Blackcurrant and Liquorice cordial which is very nice hot.

I miss being young when my fingers were small enough to scrape out all the goo via the smallest hole possible made in the top where the walnut was stuck on.

Still wrong. So wrong. Though I might have to admit to buying my DH - who is properly wrong himself - rhubarb tea cakes in M&S the other day.

I used it like sucking it out. I did not like the walnut mind….

Memo please. So I don't (potentially) make a dick of myself in the future by not grasping the undertone.

If you bite the bottom off, you can get the goo out with your tongue.

The walnut is what makes a Walnut Whip one of your five-a-day.

icingonmycupcake - feck knows! The memo is probably illegible anyway because it's all covered with chocolate anyway. Just go with the flow, that's what I do.

I have never eaten a Tunnock of any kind, and am not at all attracted to them.
I'd like a flag, and a week, please.

I can't help on the not alcoholic front front but Berkshire Botanical Dandelion & Burdock Gin is lovely and tastes like dandelion & burdock did when I were but a lass.

lcakethereforeIam · 05/08/2026 19:51

I think the sugar tax has either forced the prices up or made them use sugar alternatives.

When McDonald's first opened round our way they sold root beer which, to me, tasted like germolene.

Hedgehogforshort · 05/08/2026 19:54

Root beer was the drink to have in the seventies in canada and yes it was like germaline
