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.

They use a lot of hard fats in food these days, Do Wah. Hydrogenated stuff that gives you bowel cancer, piles and obesity. America is going to ban hard fats, we should too.
In my day nobody ever died of cancer, piles or obesity. They just used to die of old age when they got to 55.

I used to work down the pit with a lad who had chronic piles. When he went for a drop in the corner, the blood would run down to where we were ripping. My knees were soaked in it some days.
he liked a pint like we all did and one night his lass woke him up shouting that he's wet the bed. Well, when they turned the light on, the bed was scarlet. She ran up to the corner to phone the ambulance and they took him off to the General where they operated that very night. But it were no good, he came home for a month or two but you could tell he was fading.
He died on St Stephen's Day so he got another Christmas in. He was buried the day before his 50th birthday.

curious cat --did you hear about one quiet weekend night there Last year ? when a local group were due to play there and the day before a big buzz went round the locality that the Artic Monkies were good friends of this " amateur" group and would turn up and do an impromptu gig there .. Everyone realised it was one of these rumours that just spreads .. but come the night the Artic Monkies DID turn up and played into the early hours with their "mates" ... :D :D
it is THAT kind of a place .. and up here is that kind of a place .. We had to walk miles through a snow blizzard last night to a Village pub for our Friday night Music Session ...to find the pub was packed out !!...everyone brought their different instruments thru it too ..and "watchers" turned up in their droves .. altho a lot of them are Hardy walking types ,so snow doesn't faze them .. :-)

Some folks are just brain washed into believing that big names are the way to go.
The fact is that there are only a handful of manufacturers, who simply put the same product into their customers different packaging.
Which is best....Pepsi or Coca?
A couple of years ago I did a blind testing for my BBQ guests as a bit of fun.
Each were given Cola in two distinctly different glasses, and asked to say which they prefered.
A few said they couldn't tell the difference and a couple vote on one over the other.
What no person picked up on was, not only were they the same, but were 17p for two litres from Aldi!!!!
If you think that is ridiculous, just check the ingredients against Pepsi and Coca!

please tell me why Soy/Soya flour is in all the biscuits ?
simple answer - filler... it's bulking out the product because the REAL flour has went up in price.
The Victorians did the same thing and it caused deaths. We do it with a flour that causes inflammation of the gut. It's okay, because it's a slow death. it's cumulative. rubbing away at your gut, small tiny holes, leaking into the parts of the body that food isn't meant to be and causing a immune response. an auto immune condition happens and you go to the doctor. The doctor will give you anti acids.
eat more gelatine - they give you jello in hospital for a reason. it helps to heal the gut. the small intestines. eat some jelly sweets twice a week. suckas.
