Of Biscuits and other treats

Abbey biscuits were the biscuit of choice in my childhood – though not necessarily my choice, it has to be said. The Abbey biscuit was a very sweet oatmeal biscuit with a distinct crunch, indeed it later became known as Abbey Crunch.

In rare moments of munificence my mother would splash out on a packet Custard Creams.

Even more rare was the appearance of something like Sugar Puffs – Corn Flakes or Shredded Wheat being the breakfast staple.

So now, with the financial crisis engulfing us and the frost nipping my toes it’s to Custard Creams and Sugar Puffs I turn for comfort. Could be worse I guess.
