    I only found Farleys rusks when I was a student - very soothing for a hangover :)

    I'm sure you have all read this morning's news about the Panamanian law firm that helped people evade taxes by shifting money abroad.

    Now, if you read Zerohedge, you'll see that in addition to the Icelandic Prime Minister, they also mention a certain British Prime Minister's father as being a client:

    Odd that if you look at the BBC, only the Icelandic guy is mentioned? :)

    Perhaps all those tin foil hatters aren't so nutty after all.

    I don't remember getting Farley's Rusks.
    What will ever 'stick' in the memory though was some gooey, treacly, malty product which I was given regular spoons of - because it was supposed to be 'good for me' .

    Farleys rusks are like Mar's kale. Vile stuff not to be touched with a barge pole. :(

    On the subject of things we used to eat as children, remember Farleys Rusks?

    Delicious with warm milk and sugar. drool.gif

    Yum! I used to give them to my children when they were little and have some myself. I liked them with cold milk too! I remember OH saying disgustedly to our DD1, "You and your mother don't half eat some revolting concoctions between you, baby." I never put sugar on them though, they were sweet enough already. They are rather smaller these days (as are Wagon Wheels too).

    pollyanna - I assure you your palate would cope very well with the odd spoonful of condensed milk :o:D
