Penelope Reid	Dear Nicey, Am I hallucinating? I claim that about five years (possibly more) ago it used to be possible to sit down with a nice cup of tea and enjoy a biscuit known as the Lemon Crunch Cream made by those fine biscuiteers known as Fox. This delightful little tart of a biscuit was extremely satisfying, I remember with particular fondness the surprising way the lemon would hit your tongue a few seconds before the sugary deliciousness of the biscuit followed. (if consuming it via the prise apart & remove filling method also employed by keen bourbon eaters). However my chums claim I am confusing it with a lemon puff. To prove a point they provided me with a nice cup of tea, some where comfy to sit down and presented me with a pack of lemon puffs. The lemon puff was nothing more than two crackers (crackers) filled with what presumably tastes like the stuff they use to treat athletes foot! So I need a decision, Am I remembering some kind of biscuit type dream, or are my chums just jealous that they missed this particular taste sensation and seeking to ruin my treasured memory?
	Nicey replies: I don't recall the Lemon Crunch Cream but I can well imagine one and they sound nice. You certainly would not get confused with the Lemon puff because they are horrid, and are my third most disliked biscuit after the Nice and the Pink Wafer. Maybe one of our other visitors has experience with the Lemon Crunch Cream.
Huw Davies	Hello again Mr Nicey,   I have to agree with Loz's email about poor children smelling of biscuits. I remember some of the children at Porth Comp smelling like they were rubbing themselves with all manner of biscuits before they un-tucked their shirts, messed up their hair, put their trainers on (Pan-Am) and came to school. This has to be a global ocurrence.
Biscuit Enthusiast Mandy	Nicey, having read the letter on your feedback page, I felt compelled to respond. I can categorically state that this was not localized to Liverpool, I also remember the very same "cheaper type biscuit aroma" surrounding the poorer kids at my school. So, the phenomena obviously did spread, at least to Bar Hill around the same era! Maybe Bar Hill at that time was a migrating point for the poor custard cream misshapen biscuit fed Liverpudlians?
James Fussell	Nicey,   I have to concur with Loz.  We had some biscuit-odoured poor kids at my school.  More precisely they smelled of stale morning coffees.  I wonder if this is the same smell as Loz has experienced in Liverpool?  I live in Bristol, I wonder if there was some sort of geographical trend in biscuit type odour in these poor kids, ie. South West - Morning Coffee, Liverpool - Bourbon, Scotland - Hob Nobs.  Perhaps you could initiate a study?   In anticipation......
Craig Buckley	I noticed while looking at your site, the reference to wafers and Kit Kats, surely the kit kat should be re-classified as a fully fleged biscuit?
	Nicey replies: The KitKat is a chocolate covered biscuit bar, and exists in the union of biscuits and chocolate bars, in the Venn diagram of the biscuit world. As such it finds it self able to being classified in any of the three categories that creates. As such it does not require reclassification. I hope this helps.
