Yet another Rover take over

Take a close up look at the selection

Not the troubled Brummy car maker this time but the seasonal biscuit assortment. When United biscuits acquired Jacobs UK business and its brands last year who could have imagined that the writing was on the wall for Rover, (again the biscuits not the car maker).

Over the years Peek Frean's Family Circle selection has always gone head to head with Crawfords Rover when in comes to securing that all important place accompanying those numerous Yuletide cuppas. Now the brand has passed via Jacobs to Crawfords and in a remarkable move Family Circle has donned the red and white livery of Rover.

The new selection includes Jacob's Happy Faces as well as chocolate covered fingers. The role of yuckky left till last biscuit is competently dealt with by the coconut cookie.

The shocking revelations continue when we discovered that our review pack was fitted with Digestives rather than the rather interesting Jacob's Lincolns we had previously spied. Actually I noticed this when I called by our local Radio station for a chat earlier in the week. I was there for the local weirdo section of the evening show and they had got a box in for me. Next week they are talking to a man who puts ferrets down his trousers, so presumably they'll get him some new trousers or a packet of plasters.

Biscuit Voting Results

We asked you to cast your votes, and you responded in your thousands, hoorah! So now we can reveal the results of your favourite biscuits, your most regularly eaten biscuit and which one you really can't stand.

You have all been very good waiting for results but now we have revealed them we'll need to shut the poll as it might affect new votes. It's just like in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, when the contestant says what they think the answer is then asks the audience, and we don't want that do we.

Of course this picture may account for the Pink wafer being the top Yuckiest biscuit

UPDATE Much to Wifey's horror I've gone a bit Peter Snow with our results, and put up advanced analysis features. You can now view the results sorted according to their calculated loyalty factor.

Wallace and Gromit inspired tea inventions

PG Tips official sponsor of the new Wallace and Gromit feature film The Curse of the Ware Rabbit, have been inspired by the inventive duo. They got in touch to let us know about the great new Cuppa Contraptions they've come up with.

Who amongst us can honestly say that we haven't dreamed of having a remote control kettle? Well PG and mobile phone network Orange have combined their know how to create a kettle that you can set boiling by sending it a text. If Tomorrows World was still on the telly they would have had kittens over this.

Cracking good cuppa contraptions

And whilst they were at it they came up with the Gromit shaped Thermo Nose mug, and the Brewometer tea strength aid. You can find out all about these tea making boons and how to get hold of them on our Cuppa Contraptions page.

Winner

Congratulations to Victoria Worton from Lanarkshire who won the Wallace and Gromit goody bag and a years supply of PG Tips. Commiserations to everybody else who took part, including the two people who thought that PG Tips teabags are round, and the chap who entered himself twelve times using different email addresses.
