    I knew you'd post that advert as your primary piece of evidence.

    Not good enough though son, not when I can produce this bastard.

    That whole advert reeks of manliness, in fact I could smell the masculine scent of 'The Stratos' waft in my nostrils as I watched it.

    What do you make of it now it's Ella St Social?

    I personally think it's better, with good live music on a Sunday night.

    Don't think they're too keen on me though, as last time I was in I was with a group of screeching wenches.

    Fun for a while, then got very tedious. For everyone.

    While i agree with that and I'm pretty sure its john Craven doing the voiceover, which enhances its manliness, they dont make em anymore. Why??

    Jaffa cakes are wonderful. Have you tried the giant ones from Costa made with Belgian chocolate, **** me they're good better than the giant teacakes.

    I've never heard of 'em.

    I always buy McVities, her indoors always goes for the cheaper option because she doesn't like JC's.

    In fact we've got some Co op ones in at the moment and they're pretty good.

    Two points: Firstly, Jaffa cakes are great and manly. In the first advert posted they are being used to demonstrate science to do with space! Science + space = manly (although ladies are also great at science I might add).

    Secondly, I saw Lucy Beaumont last Summer in Peterborough. She has a (for want of a better word) quirky slant to her humour which I loved. Highly recommend her act, although she is not as readily accessible as more mainstream comedians and will not suit everyone's taste.

    A Jaffa cake is a biscuit.

    A packet of them is a packet of biscuits.

    They don't equate to cakes.





    Their VAT classification is a travesty. A ****ing travesty.

    Crown vs McVities 1991 is the single biggest miscarriage of justice this country has ever seen.

    Bar none.

    TBH around here it's not a routine, it's 40% of the population.

    I'm off to walk the dog. I may be some time.

    The requests to feel sorry for Geordie lasses will inevitably delay me.

    I don't mind it ip until about 9pm. Hash used to keep most of the dickheads, that now frequent it, out if there. We used to get lock ins every weekend, I used to Dj there, my mates bands used to play there, he even started putting in free hangover breakfast buffets on a Sunday. God I miss those days

    But they're called Jaffa Cakes.

    It says it on the packet.

    Cake, Jaffa Cake.

    It's a cake.


    Now a Pontefract cake isn't a cake, everyone knows that but I'm not having it that Jaffa CAKES are t**tting biscuits.

    There is a simple rule Ern. A cake goes hard a biscuit goes soft.

    Cakes - go hard when they are stale (like Jaffa CAKES)
    Biscuits - go soft when they are stale (like every biscuit)

    i've got your back with this one baby.

    From Wiki -

    In the United Kingdom, value added tax is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes.[10] McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes at a VAT tribunal in 1991, against the ruling that Jaffa Cakes were biscuits due to their size and shape, and the fact that they were often eaten in place of biscuits.[11] McVities insisted that the product was a cake, and according to rumour produced a giant Jaffa Cake in court to illustrate its point.[11] After assessing the product on eleven criteria, including "texture", "attractiveness to children" and "consistency when stale",[12] the court found in favour of McVities, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom
