NEW FLASH!! - McVities biscuits - recipe changed back in 2020

By way of an update / ray of hope

Just for giggles I bought a packet of Morrisons "Own Brand" digestive biscuits the other day

They've definitely got the sweet / salt thing . . . which is good

But they don't have much / any of the oaty grains

But they cost less than 10 bob a packet . . . which is good and so, overall, worth a punt I feel

Next stop though . . . home made ones
 
I have always found the Towergate range of biscuits from Lidl are quite nice.

They are indeed the digestives and Fruit Shortcake are as good as McV's used to be.

Produced by this firm on Teeside, who also do for Aldi:


However, you probably don't want to look-up their factory hygiene convictions! :eek:


Lidl use other suppliers for different biscuit lines - the Sondey lines are from this firm



They have a couple ofScottish suppliers as well - Reids in Thurso and Tower in Perth.
 
I was squinting at that trying to work out if being less than ten bob meant they'd be a very cheap under 10p, or if it meant under a pound, which didn't seem that impressive. I could right go for a nice party ring now. Or indeed a pink panther wafer.
 
I would say the same about The New York Bagel bakers unit.
Having been for an interview and a tour some years ago.

They have some bad Google reviews:

Hi I am a taxi driver from rotherham. I was booked by an agency worker who's name is hassan,I arrived on time on my booking.I drove all the way from Rotherham town and waited for this customer only to find out she made me wait and then jumped in a
to another car for a lift without letting our office know.I lost out time and money.
It is disgusting how they let this dishonest person work there. I have left a note with the security gatehouse for the staff manager and hope to get a response.Thank you.Dishonesty reflects in the final product.

Bad place to work if your English, there rude and talk in different languages around you, only two 15 mins breack and a 20 mins in 12 hours, plus it takes you 5mins to get in and out of building just a really bad place to work. I told my manager they was being rude and he said when i started no one talked to for 6 moths and about them using their language i cant stand up ageist all them as the fatory morgority of the workers are foren even tho its a english based facory by law they should speak english. Its intimidating place to work and no one wants to help you. Never mind the lack of communication of what your doing or whats going off.
