Think you pay vat on biscuits but not cake.....or something like that.....the court case about Jaffa cakes was about if they were biscuits or cake. Can't remember the outcome.....or if indeed I have just made that up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No....but I did have weird scones and and dog sick, first taste is with the eyes ...I'll give America their dues when it comes to bbq though, even though they stole it from the south Americans they made it their own by dumping a load of sugar and processed cheese and sauces all over it .. fk yeah!

Though why chocolate covered biscuits should have vat added, but chocolate covered cakes don’t, is beyond me ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
