Dear Mr Nicey,
May I first congratulate you on an inspirational website, Never before has any site made me want to leave my computer so much, venture downstairs and make a cracking cup of Yorkshire tea. Thank you.
I feel compelled to add to the mighty Tim-Tam debate that is unfolding before our very eyes by including a couple of instructions for the sucking up of tea through a Tim-Tam that Mr Pigstabber wrote to you about. The Tim-Tam must slightly give way underneath your fingers when the tea has been sucked up, so don't grip the biscuit too hard, and then, the MOST important thing is to put ALL of the Tim-Tam into your mouth for the complete and unadulterated satisfaction and semi-orgasmic experience.
These extra additions I feel will make those virgin Tim-Tam Slammers quiver with sheer delight.
Thank you Ian Norris, you are a legend in your own mixing bowl. Long live the Tim-Tam,
Paul Deadman
Humble biscuit fan

Tim Tans are on the streets for London already but at a price! From the Australia Shop in covent garden at about £3 a packet but a must every time you go to London the caramels ones are best especially when used as a staw however twix bars come a close second when used in the same way another one to try! |
Nicey replies: Yes, I think thats where our first review pack came from, and it looked to be a an Australian domestic pack. The ones in Tescos are export versions as the packing has lots of Arabic on the back. |

Dear Nicey
Apropos of nothing, the other morning I was driving to work listening to Danny Baker and his highly entertaining breakfast show on BBC London. He was idly discussing the various invitations that came his way and which of those he might consider attending.
Imagine my surprise when he happened across, and proceeded to, discuss his invitation to the UK launch of the Tim Tam. This was to be at some swanky joint in London's busy West End and presided over by some bigwigs from the Australian goverment as well as, I assume, the global Tim Tam marketing machine.
He did speculate about passing on the invitation to some lucky listener, however apparently it stated that only the person specifically named on the invitation (the aforementioned Mr. Baker) would be admitted....."for reasons of security".
I can already hear the whoops emanating from the Earl's Court area as hordes of expat. Antipodeans celebrate this news. I however, am more amused by the level of security afforded to the launch of what I understand to be a tasty, but I'm led to believe, non-dangerous teatime treat.
Are they to be retailed from the back of Securicor vans (or vehicles of a similar kidney)...or perhaps only available to those with an appropriate "prescription" or permit to purchase the product. I am intrigued.
In the meantime Nicey I remain your faithful correspondent and bid you good fortune in your highly entertaing web publishing enterprise..

Regarding your Penguin v Tim Tam debate I offer you the following article from the Sydney Morning Herald in which the original creator of the Tim Tam, Ian Norris, says that after searching the world for an idea for a chocolate biscuit he happened across the Penguin: "I thought that
was not a bad idea for a biscuit... we'll make a better one." And they did.
Here's the full story
