Westminster Bridge on a sunny morning
Burton Biscuits claimed they hadn't got any smaller, so someone went out and managed to find decades old wrappers and it turns out in the 80's they were reduced from 79cm to 74cm and between 2006 and now, they've further reduced in weight from 41g to 36g. Thieving bastards.
Well that just takes the biscuit.

This lass gets everywhere. Pontificating on men’s games, on every other TV programme and she still finds time to come to the rescue of England under 19s.
“England fought back to beat Italy and seal a place in Friday's European Under-19 Championship final in a dramatic semi-final in Slovakia.
The Young Lions fell behind to Fabio Miretti's penalty after Brooke Norton-Cuffy's foul on the Juventus player.
Substitute Alex Scott equalised from a corner before Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah headed the winner.”

At 74cm, it takes a ****ing massive biscuit.
You'd have to do a bit more than grin to get that ****er in. Unless you're Cherie Blair.

RH will be in meltdown and this will dominate Sportstalk. Gollum will be wheeled out to ask if she is red and white or black and white.
“The culture secretary Nadine Dorries made an embarrassing gaffe during a speech at a Rugby League World Cup event in St Helens on Thursday as she reminisced about her favourite memory from the sport – Jonny Wilkinson’s iconic drop-goal in 2003 to win the rugby union World Cup.
Dorries – the secretary of state for digital, culture, media, and sport – appeared to confuse the two rugby codes as she told her audience: “I’ve always quite liked the idea of rugby league. My long-standing memory is that 2003 drop-goal. I’ll let you into a seret, we were drinking Bloody Marys at the time, it was 11 o’clock in the morning. But wow, what a moment that was.”
She added: “I’m not going to stand here and pretend I’m an expert who watches it all the time, but it’s an incredibly physical, sometimes quite brutal sport and it often ends up in a scrum which actually reminds me very much of politics. I think we have a lot in common and given a lot of the media like to call me the prime minister’s attack dog, I wonder sometimes if I should give rugby a go.”
Dorries was speaking at an event setup to unveil the findings of a report which claims the 2021 Rugby League World Cup – delayed by the pandemic until later this year – has already made £25m worth of positive change in communities across the north of England through its social impact programme.”

Class. I wonder if that final and the drop goal took place before World War 11 too?
Actually, I think there might be some vacancies for scriptwriters in the near future.
To be fair, if you mention rugby the vast majority of people think of the 15 a side version.
If you mention rugby, I think of people chasing a wheel of cheese down a hill.
I'm sure you are right, but surely a person in her position, with a team of researchers probably, can check the ins and out of the game before making a speech!
