Chris Rayment Garibaldi Review	Sorry to spoil the numbers Joanne, but I have added to the Garibaldi correspondence, and you may have counted me as male, when in fact I am female! On a Garibaldi type biscuit not, has anyone else noticed that those apple and cinnamon biscuits sold in packs of three biccies by McVities as part of their Go Ahead range are remarkably like Garibaldis in shape and texture? Three are just a nice number with a nice cup of tea when having a sit down. Yours biscuitly (in a female sort of way) Chris Rayment
	Nicey replies: Hoorah for you and your ladyness Chris (we worked it out ages ago..). Yes there are some good fruity biscuits to be had in the Go-Ahead range, which is recovering nicely from its initial Mr Motivator led campaign, some ten or so years ago.
Joanne Harris Garibaldi Review	After an involved discussion during a work lunch break, myself and several colleagues came to the conclusion that the Garibaldi Biscuit is a Dad’s Biscuit. Hurried research gleaned from your website has since backed up our initial conclusions. 6/8 people who have emailed you regarding these biscuits are male. Discuss. Regards Jo & Fran
	Nicey replies: You may well have a point. I briefly fondled a pack of Crawfords Garibaldi's only this lunch time in Budgens, before realising that I had come in there to get toothpaste the younger members of staff.
Alistair Balderson	Dear Nicey, I note the recent vigorous debate around the sound made by the teaspoon on the side of the cup. I must say I like the scientific explanation, and it makes sense to me. I’ve never noticed it on coffee, as I don’t drink the stuff, but I have noticed it on hot chocolate (generally from a single serve sachet, for experimental purposes), which has a markedly different “clunk”-type sound when you stir it. Obviously hot chocolate is, as a rule, much more viscous than a cup of tea, and so the fact that the sound is effectively trapped in the gunk of the drink stands to reason, now it has been explained to me. I’ll have to think of something else to ponder whilst stirring a cup of hot chocolate now … Cheers, Alistair Balderson
Stuart Hudson	Nicey, Having read Gianna's letter this does seem a very convincing argument however, as a musician, I have a slightly different theory: when stirring tea if the teabag is left in the mug it will reduce the available surface area of the tea thus raising the pitch and, to some extent, "dampening" the sound, the same effect as placing a cushion inside a bass drum. By the way, love the site Regards Stuart
Angela Fraser Tunnocks Tea Cake Review	Hello nicey, have you or any of your readers/web site afficianados tried a tunnocks tea cake fried in bacon fat? Although the chocolate will start to melt in the heat submerging the biscuity base for a few seconds results in a surprisingly moreish snack, and removes the ethical obstacle many feel at eating vegetarian food.
	Nicey replies: Good grief! Presumably you have done this and lived to tell the tale. However, given your contorted assertions about vegetarian food, the signs are that the blood which is struggling to make through your clogged arteries might not be getting enough oxygen to your brain. Expect a visit from Dr Gillian McKeith soon.
