Do wah Diddy 08 Jan 20:35
I WANT TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR ONE DAY AND SAY DO WAH DIDDY I LIKE YOU , YOU ARE A CREDIT TO YOUR MAKER I think that's what McVitties will now be saying to their biscuits! |

McVities were the last big company to stop using animal fats in digestives after years of protests and boycotting by vegetarians.
That's why they are different, the recipe has changed. I think this happened in the early 90s. |

I can honestly say I've never pruned roses, and the car gets cleaned once or twice a year. So I'm already part way there.
Some of it might not have been fun, Do Wah, but some of it probably has been. Getting old ain't ideal for any of us, after all. In any case, you have retained an excellent sense of humour. Just keep it up. :) |

In a way, this is the same issue as the thread about the decline of British manufacturing on the Politics forum. Yet another Brit product that should be excellent but just doesn't end up like that. I was reading earlier about Landrover's poor reputation for reliability. Seems an endless list.

I've just opened a packet I purchased a few days ago for this research. Admittedly I didn't tear the seal like an open-heart surgeon would so obviously the top biscuit, as usual was crumbled, second one down broken in two pieces and the two at the bottom of the packet also in two pieces each with the very bottom one crumbled round the edges, so 5 biscuits ruined altogether for satisfactory dipping purposes. This is unconclusive as to whether it is the bakers or packaging departments fault but the packaging department aren't looking good - I think the top and bottom of the packets could do with steel toe caps in them.

VERY SAD
Rolls-Royce Motors was created from the de-merger of the Rolls-Royce car business from Rolls-Royce Limited in 1973. The original Rolls-Royce Limited had been nationalised in 1971 due to the financial collapse of the company, caused in part by the development of the RB211 jet engine. In 1973, the British government sold the Rolls-Royce car business to allow nationalised parent Rolls-Royce (1972) Limited to concentrate on jet engine manufacture. In 1980, Rolls-Royce Motors was acquired by Vickers. In 1998, Vickers plc decided to sell Rolls-Royce Motors. The leading contender seemed to be BMW, who already supplied internal combustion engines and other components for Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars. Their final offer of £340m was outbid by Volkswagen Group, who offered £430m. As part of the deal, Volkswagen Group acquired rights to the "Spirit of Ecstasy" mascot and the shape of the radiator grille. |

Do Wah, you should never open a packet of biscuits from the end, that's how you break them. Get the breadknife and slice the packet through the middle between two biscuits. No breaks, no crumbs.
I taught my wife that when we first got married. She gives lectures at the women's institute and such places and she always gets their full attention when she start off with "I'm now going to tell you about the wonderful trick my husband taught me on our honeymoon." |

We didn't have canned pop in my day, it was in glass bottles. 1/3 the bottle and 3d back when you drank it. I used to collect the empties free of charge from the posh ladies I delivered to. They thought I was kind and would give me an extra tip.
