Does anyone actually like Viennese Whirls? I can see, I suppose, some people not minding them, but the idea of anyone, for example, citing the brittle dust clumps as their favourite biscuit is beyond me. My colleague stays in a hotel during the week, and as she cannot eat gluten she brings in the biscuits they leave for her to put on our collective food area. Occasionally they leave her lovely shortbread with bits of butterscotch in, but yesterday I wasn't quick enough and someone else took them. Today there are just packets of Viennese Whirls, which is frankly not good enough.

The provision of cake and sweets is not as good as in my old division. Technically I think that there is more of it, but it is spread out and I don't know people well enough to go and nick their food. Also we are the very first bank of desks so people walk past us and take our food because that's fine, but I have no reason to go up the room, so I can't casually take food from others. It's a very sad state of affairs.

Oh yes, that's what the BBC recipe suggests they are. What a shame - they look quite appealing.

I have only been eating the mass produced one, perhaps homemade would be much better.

Oh my god Sam, it's next week now.

I keep telling people where I'll be two (etc) weeks today. Shimla!
