It was too early to have one with a cuppa half an hour ago was it?

I love those tunnocks, I'm like Buenchico, never just one, trouble is, the little silver wrapping. Having a slice of light fruit cake here with lashing of butter and cup of tea

Crossiants .nice big ones in tesco

[wendilla]

The fruity tea cakes we get here are similar to fruit loaf but shaped like a bun .then toast with lashes of butter

Mikey, bought 2 packs of those last friday, hid them from other fingers lol

Nancecil - older alba made me a lovely little flower out of the wrappings of last box - still got it. He's arty which drives me mad lol

oooh Croissants, could eat them til the cows come home, love them

Thats lovely albaqwerty, I seen it done many times with cigarette gold paper, chaps making celtic crosses and the like out of the foil paper, very artistic

[albaqwerty]

alba, please, albaqwerty is so formal :-)

Drives me mad, I can't draw a straight line unless I've got a ruler lol

[eanceoil]

OK alba :} I'm a little arty, not with paper though - as in origami and the like

[albaqwerty]

I admire people who are creative, how on earth they get that from their brain down to their hands amazes me
What I see just goes off on a tangent and doesn't bother coming back.

Father-in-law was gifted in arty stuff until his hands and eyesight became poorly, he's passed the gene on to a few offsprings and then theirs :-)

Ah they make nice caramel bars; something I very rarely have now-a-days due to the number of calories. Although today I was surprised to spot a simple penguin bar had even more !

I don't know why they are called teacakes when they are just chocolate-covered marshmallow. To me a teacake is a currant bun and should be toasted.

Love this nugget of info re said Teacakes.....

Retired RAF bomber pilot Tony Cunnane told of how Tunnock's Teacakes became a favourite ration snack of the V bomber nuclear deterrent flight crews based at RAF Gaydon, especially after discovering that they expanded at high altitude. This ended after one was left unwrapped and exploded on the instrument panel//
