Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels are hateful things and are made for children.

Dark chocolate Digestives and Bourbon biscuits are the only acceptable adult nibble to go with a fresh brew, with an occasional pack of Ginger biscuits for a change and are essential crew bikkies for those who venture on the sea!

Pretty short sighted of both the union and the staff - hard to see a huge amount of sympathy from the general public in an environment where so many are losing their jobs

Not sure they dunk well as they have an inclination to sogginess when introduced to hot liquid?

They want a 7% rise when thousands are losing their jobs which I would assume means they are easier to replace which in turn makes their role worth less? FRO.

I am guilty of not taking the OP's subject seriously enough and I now realise the national crisis and the grave plight of the Scottish biscuit making clan!

I trust this action isn't going to affect the marmalade industry in Dundee?

Whilst we're at the pit face of industrial action, may I mention the hard working North Sea oil workers who have struggled to make ends meet in the last few years?

Years of productive work, earning billions for the Scottish govt, and yet more tax and royalty payments for the lowlanders, yet the hard working offshore personnel have earned a pittance in return for risking all!

Down tools and stop the flow of Jammy Dodgers!

It does seem very short sighted unless they are paid massively under the industry average?

I think most of the profits go on Shmee’s car collection...
