Isabel Stainsby McVities Milk Chocolate Digestive Review	Hi Nicey, One theory which you have omitted to mention is that the mice running the biscuit machines have taken their annual holiday, or maybe gone on strike (after all no one else is satsified with a below-inflation pay rise, so why should they be?) The biscuit machine in Bagpuss was run by mice, and I won't have anyone telling me that iconic TV programmes from my childhood aren't true. Admittedly this machine made chocolate biscuits rather than fig rolls, but I'm sure the original design could be tweaked to produce whatever biscuit you wanted. Or the mice wanted, which could be a different thing entirely. Isabel
	Nicey replies: Good reasoned thinking, however, the mice in Bagpuss were a dodgy bunch and were not really making Chocolate Biscuits out of Butter Beans. They kept producing the same chocolate biscuit from round the back over and over again. They probably pinched this too. (I go into this in some depth in our book) BTW Bagpuss has just won a poll or something You can see the mice in the picture. They look a bit shifty, I think its the eyes.
Trina Fitzalan-Howard	Hi Nicey Been temping for a very nice firm of solicitors who put their staff’s cuppa needs at the heart of the operation. As such they have a seriously good brew station with as fine a mix of teas and coffees as you could imagine. I found a small sachet of Chai and report thusly: if you brew a really weak cup of black tea, dunked a ginger nut for not longer than disintegration, you would still get a better cuppa than the muck I drank. Ugh. Won’t be drinking another one I can tell you! PS Why isn’t the fig crunch headline news?
	Nicey replies: Don't know why the Fig crisis isn't making the mainstream news. Maybe SKY would go with it if there was some kind of riot as a consequence of Fig Roll shortages. Given the scant coverage of the GingerNut / Morning Coffee crisis of 2006 I don't hold out much hope.
Steve White	Hello! I stumbled across your website today, and while at first, I really couldn't be bothered looking, I felt this urge of curiosity creep in and thought, oh what the hell, what’s the worst that could happen? I actually quite liked your site, refreshingly amusing and fun to read after a mind bogglingly boring and repetitive day at my desk in work. I particularly liked your statement to spelling geeks! As to your tea policy, tad disappointed, tea experts you might be, but please please please, milk first, THEN tea (show some dedication to the cause and pour the water onto a RAISED tea bag (and your fingers while holding the tea bag aloft) or better still, just use leaf tea in a pot and strain it into a cup with milk already in it! Ceramic, before you ask. Canadians have a thing for using tin tea pots - philistines! ;-) Ok, not I am sounding like a geek (a mad tea geek, I can’t spell for toffee!). All fun aside, I really liked clicking through your website, it was written with great humor – thank you Good work, and keep it up! Steve
	Nicey replies: Fighting our corner I think pouring water over a tea bag to rinse the tea from it is definitely errant and slightly dangerous behaviour as tea needs steeping not washing. Other than that ideological difference we seem to be on good terms and thanks for dropping by. Nicey
Colleen Howe	Hi Nicey! Please - we need your help asap. We are sitting in the office with lots of different fruit tea options... We went for camomile, honey and vanilla and that has put us slightly over the edge! What is your take on fruit teas - where should we go from here?! Yours in anticipation Colleen
	Nicey replies: Our advice is to stop mucking about and have a proper cup of tea.
Robert Keppel	Enjoyed the website. Brought back some old memories of the biscuits i used to chomp on as a kid. Unfortunately i fear that you have neglected to review the 'lemon puff'. This biscuit was a one-of-a-kind, in so far as it had a distinctive crumbly texture and a lovely lemon tang. Perhaps you could add it to your fine list of biscuity treats. Ta.
	Nicey replies: Its not a an oversight that the Lemon Puff isn't in our BOTW list. We tried on several occasions to have a go at them but the modern day round Lemon Puff is literally a pale shadow of its former rectangular self. They were a bit on the nasty side basically.
