    I've had the ones from milk and more and they were yummy. Had the plain type not the chocolate one but still got a few chocolate ones in them. They tended to be 'quality' biscuits with cream fillings and shortbread ones rather than digestives/ rich tea etc.

    May have to buy another box now are this thread has made me want them with my cup of tea lol

    house of lancaster is the company that produces them but freemans confectionery distribute them, phone them on 01922 711666 and ask where you can purchase them from - they used to have a huge contract with iceland but dont think they have now, hope this helps :-)

    I am sure I saw them in Morrisons last night. Did not notice the price but in yellow wrapper.

    I've seen them in two garden centres I've been to recently.One was a 'Squires' centre, so part of a chain, but the other was independent. My mum used to buy these off the milkman, and I loved them.

    I used to buy them at the biscuit-factory gate in Burton On Trent when I lived near there. They were in big boxes about a foot-cubed and ridiculously cheap.

    Also, they were delicious because they were fresh, straight off the production line, as it were. Some of them weren't broken, just mis-shaped.

    I always had a suspicion that they deliberately broke them to sell them off cheap to increase their production-line efficiency, thereby improving their margin on the biscuits they sold in the normal manner.
