The Guardian article also reminded me of the Doc Brown rap about making a proper cup of tea, in internet terms it's probably quite an old video, but it does make me chuckle (caution, some strong language, and yes that's right, the milk should not go in first ).

Do you mean

I need to ask you something
and I want you to be totally
honest with me. It might be
awkward between us after this
but I have to know how you feel.
I have kept it in for a while
now but I think it's finally time
I be straight up and just confront u
I hope this doesn't ruin the relationship
we already have. I just need to know
and I don't see any other way I could
get over this. Just doesn't seem fair
on me if I don't get an answer.
I want you to tell me truthfully,
no matter how harsh it is. I just want your
honest opinion.....
Would U say a jaffa cake is a biscuit?

Jaffa cakes, very very yummy , a great part of the cyclists nutritional diet, but as the law states, they are cakes!

I quite like Lemon Puffs if they are offered but I wouldn't buy them and I wouldn't turn down a malted milk either.

I cannot talk to you anymore you have vile vile vile tastes in biscuits!

Lemon puffs are THE most disgusting invention ever, malted milk are only to be eaten if they come in a multi pack and you have nothing else.

Are you going to buy chickens

If I can ever get OH to move all the bloody bikes out of the coop, yes!

 

[hopless500]

I like iced rings too

And me. Still buy them occasionally.
Jammie dodgers are as per the filling-removing description and are , but the ones with buttercream stuff in are . Waitrose do their own brand and I buy them often every now and then.
Coconut cream bikkies are quite nice too
Edit/ and I like shortbread...

agree for teabags, but not for a pot of tea

Chocolate hobnobs, chocolate digestives, or ginger nuts.
M&S do some nice choc digestives, but I should really not eat the whole packet in one sitting

I quite like penguins (both types)
I've only tried eating the biscuity ones though, not the feathered ones.

They are choc bars, and the guardian writer shows me to be correct

Anything individually wrapped and entirely covered in chocolate, eg Penguins, Clubs, Wagon Wheels, Viscount. They aren't biscuits, they're biscuit bars or even chocolate. Or not chocolate exactly, but certainly chocolate-led. Ask yourself this, has anyone ever said: "Mmm, this Club is lovely, but what would make it even better is if they just put a little less chocolate on it?" Of course they haven't. In this case, the biscuit is merely a vehicle for the delivery of chocolate, which you nibble off, before begrudgingly eating the biscuit. Next you'll be claiming that Twix, Kit Kats, Time Outs and Tunnock's caramel wafers are biscuits. Which they're not. Did your "biscuit box" contain all of the above when you were growing up? You know what you were? Spoiled.

The article writer just says it better than I can.
