Rich Tea Review |
Nicey,
I was delighted to find your website following yesterday's review in the Times and have read with much interest the varying views on the Rich Tea.
I will not comment on the taste of the Rich Tea as I know that this is a matter of personal preference. However, I would like to point out that the best way to enjoy Rich Tea is not to eat them but to feed them (whole) to ducks.

Hi Folks
I've just discovered this website and would like to put in a plea for some plain chocolate biscuis. Penguins, Kit - Kats etc are all milk chocolate. What about us plain chocolate lovers? Doesn't anyone think of us?
As for making sure my mug isn't used by anyone else - I've got one with nifty 50 on. As no - one here would admit to being that age it's never used by others.

Tunnocks Tea Cake Review |
I was pleased to read your excellent reviews of the tunnocks teacake and caramel wafer. However, I wonder if you are aware of their latest offering, with teasingly limited availablility, dark chocolate versions of teacakes and caramel wafers. For fans of tunnocks who prefer their chocolate on the darker side, these really are a must-have biscuit to be sought out and snapped up.
I grew up in Hamilton, not far from Uddingston where the fabled teacake factory resides. I well remember the annual concert given to the Tunnocks staff by Earnock High School band on Uddingston town green. Oh, I've come over all reminicent now. THe same band used to play for the Phillips lightbulb factory in Hamilton, and I hope they still do. |

Dear Nicey,
I use two tactics to ensure that nobody would use either of my two mugs, which lived permanently on my desk.
First, I choose mugs emblazoned with stuff that meant they could only be mine:
1) An Ipswich Town FC mug - I was definitely the only ITFC supporter in the office
2) A Linux Home Page Mug - bit of a teccy mug featuring a penguin but immediately identifiable as mine being the only Linux enthusiast in an office full of Solaris / Windows freaks.
My second tactic is that I use them several times every day but perhaps actually only wash them once a fortnight, resulting in a brown staining inside the mug. This means that if anyone was tempted to use my beautifully decorated mugs, they would have to wash them first.
I think we all know that mug thieves are by definition, lazy in nature and will pass over a dirty mug which they will have to wash for the nice clean one sitting on someone else's desk.
Great site, by the way. Iced Gems.... miniature biscuits or sweets?
Regards

PERSONAL MUG AWARENESS WEEK
I have a foolproof method for keeping my mug my own. I put my name on it and bob?s your uncle. Works every time and it protects your favourite mug regardless of its popularity. Now there are those that disagree with the effectiveness of this system and invariably, on closer examination, none of these people has been sufficiently thorough in undertaking the proper preparations essential for success in any venture of this type. And please, for the early stages do not underestimate the time involved
Step 1 - become the boss of the organisation?
