Gragon that is super cute (meant as a compliment) idea of a biscuit factory tour.  I must say I'm a custard cream fan with my tea (anyway but milky and with 1 sugar) lol 

Oh you do make me laugh Gragon. You’re quite right, custard creams are made in Carlisle. Apparently the factory lends the town an overall aroma of biscuit. Is that a dream come true or a nightmare? I did do a tour of a biscuit factory in France one time (the joys of a rainy fortnight in Normandy). I still have the biscuit tin although the beautiful buttery French delicacies are long gone.

Can we have a Hobnob tour? A superior biscuit altogether imho.

I've been on a tour of the Fox's Biscuit Factory near Leeds. The best bit was the factory shop that's open to the public! Lol

Ok folks 

Who remembers the loose broken biscuits counter at Woolworths?

I used to live near a McVities biscuit factory  - no tours but the workers all got the broken biscuits so going around their houses for tea and biscuits was always fun.

I actually work in a food factory, but we do not produce anything as comforting as biscuits (and, yes, I can remember the broken biscuit counter at Woolies). We produce primarily all the bagged, leafy salads along with side salads, and layered salads amongst other products for M&S. Currently all orders are going through the roof with the prediction of a really sunny weekend.

I remember the broken biscuits at Woolies. I also remember going with my mother to the cleaners with the bed sheets each week and the little labels they came back with. Before the supermarket opened, the place to get ice cream was the fishmonger as they had freezers. I don’t remember steam trains pulling in to Mortlake station but my sister, who is six years older, does.
