Dear Nicey,
RE: THe Milk Pot poll: Are we talking the fearfully scorned UHT products, the dreaded Semi Skinned, or the blessed Full Fat honest to goodness cow juice?
Although I’ve voted for the two pots, I wish to make it clear (and I think I have) that only proper milk will do.
Yours truly,
Adrian Clarke |
Nicey replies: Realistically its what ever is on offer at the time, it could even be that stuff in the little brown pots that is really supposed to be used for Coffee. |

Well I don't know what the world is coming to.....
After a long search of the local supermarkets, corner shops and any other outlet that might be construed as a biscuit emporium, I finally secured myself a packet of 'Sports'. Excited at the prospect of reliving my early years, I made some tea, sat down and opened the packet.
I've been conned - If i'm not mistaken, the sports have all been redesigned. You can now 'enjoy' skateboarding, windsurfing and in-line skating. The other sports seem somehow different as well.
What we need is a solid reliable biscuit - the digestive and bourbon - not this flash-in-the-pan-come-day-go-day-not-so-great-pretender of a biscuit. I'll get custard creams next time........
Bah humbug. |
Nicey replies: Keep an eye on those Sports biscuits, they might be up for a few changes in the coming months. |

 Tim Tam vs Penguin Review |
Thank you for the fun site and I enjoy errr borrowing your great pictures to use as wallpaper on my work PC. Hang on a minute while I put down my cup of tea and get all outraged.
I also lurk on a travel bulletin board. On that site I have made an offer of a political nature:
"I promise to send a packet of Tim Tams to any regular on this site who votes against Bush in the 2004 election"
It has been a huge success. Tim Tams have an aura of mystery for my US cyber friends and they are oft talked about in revered tones. I have had Canadians offering to emigrate, Republicans thinking of converting, I even had an offer to have a website built to take my offer global - that seemed tiresome. The boyfriend did point out that I was offering gifts for votes and was probably breaking some law in America but I pushed on bravely from the relative safety of Australia.
Then in February I discovered to my shock and horror that the US Customs service has put in place a ban on packaged foods being posted to the USA. There is a transition period after which anyone will need FDA Approval to send in even a single serve of Biscuits. This announcement was made AFTER I started offering Tim Tams for votes.....
When does the transition period end and FDA regulation kick in you might ask??? Just before the US Federal Election. I tell you Tim Tams must have those pesky US Government types very worried!

Dear Nicecupoftea...
I wonder if you remember a biscuit called, I think, the Misbit? It was round, had irregular shaped holes and a slight cornflake taste. It might have been made by McVities, and I seem to remember it being around at much the same time as the Jasper. I'd be grateful for any news.
Thank you for your excellent website.

Nicey replies: Nope. |

 Digestive Review |
Ive been sitting here for the past 2 hours (its about 5 am) in my cold basement somewhere in Canada, surfing the net, really needing a nice cup of tea. Not residing in this country very long and very dubious of what resembles tea over here, last week I ordered a tea with milk from a local Coffee-Time. My husband brought it to me, I sipped it and said "does this tea taste like ****?" - vaguely reminiscent of that famous Austin Powers sketch. My long-suffering hubby duly returned the luke- warm sludge, only to discover that the server had placed the tea-bag into the cup and filled it up with black coffee!
p.s. the only English biscuit I can find in my local store is McVities Digestive (plain) - thank heavens for small mercies. But it doesn't quite taste the same?????
