Anyone for a teacake?

Isn't it great when we have to get lawyers involved to decide wheather a teacake is a cake or a biscuit

Given that Jaffa Cakes were declared cakes ages ago in a similar case, I wonder why this ruling took so long for these teacakes...

How does one define a cake from a biscuit?

[woollypigs]

never mind that, how does one claim back that vat I have paid for all the years ?

I seem to remember that the key decisive feature from the Jaffa case was that a cake goes harder when it is left out, and a biscuit goes softer.

Its all b*ll*ks anyway because a teacake is a bread roll with currents in it.

Does this mean we pay no VAT on tea cake cycling jerseys

Do they do a Tunnock's Caramel Wafers top?

I could live on those 

Erm. Well, I'd die fat and happy at any rate...

Nope, just the teacakes I'm afraid. Although they do have some other unusual jerseys

Cyclops, my wife hates cycling clothes but she loves Tunnock's teacakes.  I think with that top she would face a slight dilemma.

That's a fruit teacake. A plain teacake has no currants in it. I like toasted fruit teacakes with butter.

Your quite right Kirst, I only tend to buy the fruit ones though. Now, anyone for a barm cake?
