It was Peter Kaye who said that the mother of all buscuits for dunking in tea is the Hob Nob - you can't beat an hob nob - it sucks in half your brew!  I love that sketch - miss the biscuits as well!

Tunnocks Tea Cakes, the daddy of them all for those of you that have watched Still Game. If you go onto Amazone they describe Still Game as in English, i wonder how many english speaking people would understand it.? 

[sandy]

I understand it,I loved that programme and there was another similar, forgot what that was, I think it was Game On!! I worked in Corby northants for a while before I moved up here, many came from Glasgow so I began to understand bits there are still some big gaps in my comprehensive but I get the jist of it.

[sandy]

No not game on but Dear Green Place I think...very funny...I worked in Glasgow and it run sooooo true. Any way,  I worked in Leicester and worked with people with loads of different languages and I undrstood them ususly as well, well, most of the time!!

I liked Game on too, Also like dear green place , Chewing the fat , Still game, and also like the middle lot rab C nesbit but didn't like the beginning ones or the later ones, Really hated the new ones.

Also liked 'Empty',  but not sure if the 'non-scottish members have see that'

I love this thread - its degenerated into something quite weird and surreal - probably the best legacy that 'lovespigs' could have left behind after such a short but turbid visit to the forum - great stuff!

Rab C did so much for fashion, the sale of string vests rocketed, anyway, what happened to string vests, do people still were them? defnately not unisex as the stings would grate womens b its a bit!!!!

[sheila]

 we love to watch "still game"  and don't have too much trouble with the accent.........however" Rab C nesbit" is another kettle of fish. I spend most of the programme either asking my husband "what did he say" or answering the same question from him. I think it's a Scottish plot!

for a long time i had the ringtone that went "Muuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Me biscuits fallen in me brew!"

But on the subject of biscuits - jaffa cakes - a cake or a biscuit - and why is the difference important to mcvities?

[MurmuringWheel]

We love Still Game in our house and have no problem understanding the accent.
Saw the first episode of Empty too, but decided I daren't watch it with little sister in the same room so never saw any more!

[Farmer]

I know this one - Answer = "A biscuit goes soft when its stale and a cake goes hard" and "McVites claimed Jaffa Cakes as a way of avoiding VAT - which is only applied to luxury items like biscuits"...I think!

P.S. I remember all this useless information from watching Q.I.
