I agree, Uncle Joe.
But what about the larger digestive biscuits? Now they are a different story...or a Wagon Wheel!!
Actually, no - that's sheer gluttony!

Time was, (around 60 years ago) that wagon wheels were just that - huge. Nowadays I'm not so sure I couldn't eat one in one mouthful.

Haha, yes they are TINY aren't they, Joe?
Like everything, shrinkage is the name of the game nowadays, with the price the only thing expanding! - the great supermarket rip-off.

The unchocolate ones


They used to be larger but I've not investigated recently. Possibly, they too have diminished in size.

Yes Rachel darlin' - Digestive biscuits USED to be slightly larger, but that changed a few years back and now there is a (standard???) size digestive biscuit which can also encompass either milk or plain chocolate too.

Tea cups are useless - they don't hold enough to even wet ya whistle - give me a decent sized mug anyday
