HI. Ok, I realise that you do not rate the Nice biscuit very highly ;-) but I love them. Well, actually I absolutely adore the half chocolate coated variety. But, horrors, I have not been able to get any for the last 12 months at least. Nobody seems to sell them anymore. Why? Ordinary Nice biscuits are available but not my very favourite chocolate ones. Worse still there are plenty of the absolutely awful chocolate rich tea variety and chocolate malted milk biscuits about. For heaven's sake they do not need any embellishment like chocolate!!
So, does anybody know of anywhere in Staffordshire - preferable near Cannock/Wolverhampton as I'm disabled and unable to travel very far - who stocks chocolate Nice biscuits? I am getting desperate :-)))
Take care and keep on dunking regardless.

Tea, biscuits, a lie down AND doing a good deed.
I thought I'd just give a little plug to the UK's National Blood Transfusion Service, where you get a nice lie down, with tea and biscuits afterwards (in Sheffield, a selection of Crawfords three-packs - digestives and custard creams). So if you're feeling guilty about all that biscuit chomping, you
can relieve that guilt, enjoy the tea and biscuits, and maybe even save a life.
Their web site name is almost as descriptive as yours, www.blood.co.uk.

Dear Nicey
Are you familiar with www.teasmade.com? I thought it could complement your website if you included a link to it, as it has quite a good gallery of all known teasmade models, which could be of interest to those of your readers who like to wake up in the mornings to a nicecupofteaandaliedown.
By the way, what are your views on the use of teasmades, and what kind of biscuits you recommend to accompany morning tea in bed?
Thanks!
J Watson

Nicey replies: Yes I have heard of that site, they are a bit obsessive aren't they, not like our well balanced and sensible biscuit community. Not keen on the idea of teamades. I really don't like alarm clocks, let alone one that could create scalding hot water if it felt like it inches from your face. I think I would have tension lying awake waiting for it to do its thing.
The best bed biscuit is one that doesn't generate much in the way of crumbs. So I would predictably go with a fig roll, and its a good way to start the day. Alternately eat anything you like but use a plate to catch the crumbs. |

Hoping to stop this terrible thread -- most serious tea drinkers here in the US (myself & husband included) DO have electric kettles - even cordless! I purchased mine online (amazon.com), and have enjoyed it for several years now. Cannot even *remember* how to boil water on the stove!

Nicey replies: Hoorah for your cordless US kettle. |

One possible reason that electric kettles have never become popular in North America is that their mains power is not up to the job. At a voltage of 110V and a socket current limit of 15A, the maximum power available is only about half that from the 240V/13A system found in Britain. It really is quicker to boil water on a stove in the US.
Time for a cup of tea,

Nicey replies: Surely NASA or Intel has a solution for this. Can't all the heat coming off all those Pentium chips in all those US PCs be put to good use to boil up water for tea. You can after all fry eggs on them. Come on sort it out the US, its only boiling water. |
