Re: Arnotts vs. McVities
Perhaps BE should organise some sort of donation for the folks in Tasmania?
If every member went out and bought a few packs of hobnobs and mcvities, I'm sure we could fill a Cessna and fly it over to Tasmania, there would be no need to stop we could just release the crates from the cargo hold and then watch our Tasmanian friends run towards the hobnobs as they land in the fields... ho ho.

Let me know when you're doing a drop and I'll be waiting to pick up a few crates

Re: Arnotts vs. McVities
They have stopped stocking McVities biscuits in Woolworths.
All I can find is wall-to-wall Arnotts which are totally inferior, chocolate that's like lard, rock hard ginger nuts, tasteless fatty Tim Tams, yuk!
I need some plain chocolate Digestives right now!
So far it's Arnotts 0 McVities 1
What's your score? And no I am not a troll, I really want my Hob Nobs!

Re: Arnotts vs. McVities
Some are great. I love the rich creams. Just the thick, white shortbread with the plain filling. They come in the assorted pack, probably on their own, too.
Wouldn't say Tim Tams were tasteless - on the contrary!
Notable biscuits from the UK I liked and never got around to finding an Australian equivalent is the jammy dodger - with cream as well as jam..the fact that after 5 years I don't know shows that I pick different things in different countries(!)
My daughters also like the Arnotts with the clock faces. So do I..
