I am lost.

So are you now saying other people make custard creams?

You want to make your mind up instead of taking stuff out of context to try and belittle me.
I said that at the start (ie M&S one's aren't made in Carlisle). I apologise for the fear of custard creams comment, it was supposed to be a joke, but it seems we must be completely misunderstanding each other. However I tried to explain in my last paragraph, I honestly don't see any reason why that could happen.

Are they a chocolate version of the ones with the animals on? I haven't seen them in years.

Ffs handbags away over the where custard creams are made. tttery like this that ruins PH.

Pistonheads: Where biscuits, and their manufacturing sites, matter. Apparently.

Now, more important stuff. Bring back the Abbey Crunch.

Listen FIF
It is a thread about the current supply of biscuits, what we said was relevant to the thread.

I could have started a thread about a TV programme on pottery, like you did, but that's just a little too bad ass for me wink;)

There are several biscuit manufacturers, who make several types of biscuit. I know Hills very well, they are currently adding extra shifts so you should soon see custard creams in shops (I have been able to smell them being made for the last week and a half. They did a short run of Bourbons but will be doing more soon. The bourbons go to the discounters first, so pkaces like Home Bargains and B & Ms would be the places to look.
Hope your cravings get treatment soon chaps.

Whats your address OP? I'll post you some
That's a kind offer, but postage would be more than the biscuits. Don't worry, we'll just have to tough it out.

Out of desperation, I picked up a packet of Fox's from Tesco today.

I really can't recommend them. They're much narrower than normal ones and the filling is really lacking.

I'd agree, they don't pass muster.
