Jacob's Club!Thanks Jack
They used to be real favourites of mine Mitch, they sold them with the free milk when I first started infant school, came in various flavours!They weren't McVities then, and I can't remember the last time I saw Club biscuits, maybe they've been resurrected
interesting Jack, looking forward to trying them now.
Have a great day.
Anything with mint flavouring will be good.![]()

Wednesday is not a bad idea for a weekend Jer![]()
I got some stuff done yesterday, Wednesday being my weekend now. I got the yard-waste bin out just in time, Roundupped the banks of burrs, deer-repelled my preciouses, and bug-barriered the windows I'll open if it cools off. I'll lay down more bug barrier under the window I've been seeing ticks on. It overlooks a damp, shady nook.
And I dropped by the farm that I haven't been to this year because I was working on Wednesdays. It was like a homecoming. Same old crew, plus a new old guy and a new young woman. The new young woman turned off an irrigation faucet with her bare hands, after the grizzled veterans had agreed we needed some big pliers.
And there's a new Farm Club of four-foot tall children meeting in the farmhouse.
All very nice to see.
Beautiful jigging David

A visit to the market is always interesting with you, Jack!!!Jacob's Club!I'd forgotten how popular they were, and how heavily advertised!
I think the most popular flavour was orange, but I always liked mint in a chocolate biscuit. They were an absolute staple of cafes, shops, school canteens, etc. My grandmother bought them, but my mother was always too stingy (she would buy Arrowroot biscuits!), and from the age of about 13, I almost completely stopped eating biscuits and chocolate for many years, which is why I'd almost forgotten about them. There were many other varieties over the years, including a plain chocolate version, called 'Golf'
Hope you enjoy them Mitch

I hope everyone is having a good dayI didn't sleep well last night, so I was a bit tired this morning, but soon picked up. It's always better when the sun is out in the market, and most of the regulars passed by: Barry the Original Ted, Gravel, Slimline Scott, Harry Hotballs, Captain Birdseye, and a few others. Tool Man actually kept his shirt on, and is still, largely, avoiding cake, but he still wasn't going hungry!
He said that his 'sandwich', made from an entire loaf of bread, was the biggest he's ever made! This is a third of it
When Gravel asked what was in it, Tool Man said it was crammed with ham, he had got cheap, as it was going 'ram' ('ram' or 'rammy', meaning smelling pungent, or going off, a word brought over to Yorkshire by the Vikings)!
It's hard to believe that anyone could beat Tool Man for gluttony, but I reckon the, now, Slimline Scott could have eaten him under the table at one time. I've seen the intellectually-challenged lump eating, most frighteningly at Tool Man's wedding reception, and as long as someone else is paying, he'll keep scooping whatever is on offer, into his oversized mouth, with bulging eyes, and an over-active saliva gland. Having now become a shadow of his former self, he eats less, but has no more self-control, and as soon as he sees food, he is drawn towards it, like a zombie to human flesh, advancing to the point where he's standing on your toes, and drooling on them to boot, his eyes fixated on whatever you're eating. So, it was, when Gravel returned with several portions of mushroom and onion bhajis. While Tool Man ate 90% of them, Scott still had to elbow his way over
This conversation between Boring Ray and Scott must have been mind-numbing!At least, they're not boring anyone else

That might be the issue!How could "they" ever close that weekly entertainment down?
It's free !!!
It shows you how tight-fisted he is doesn't it?!Another entertaining market report. Thanks Jack. I hope Tool Man doesn’t get put off his feed with the “ram” ham. I guess the ham would have to be well rammed for that to be. Eating dangerously….it figures.
Thanks SteveExcellent Market report filled with a colorful cast of Characters !![]()
Stunning Steve
Fabulous Market Report, Jack... one of your best.
Wonderful I*XL.
Thanks Steve.

Spectracide Insect Barrier, it is a spray. Kills ticks on contact, even though they're arachnids, but is harmless to children and pets. I'm sure.Busy day you had.
Is the bug barrier a spray?
No fly screens on the windows? They are a necessity here.
Have a good day.
Ah good old corny adverts. Jack sounds it evoked some fond memoriesJacob's Club!I'd forgotten how popular they were, and how heavily advertised!
