The confession

[balf]

Look, I know it looks bad now, but at the time I was told every one was doing it and I would be a fool if I didn’t do it as well. So I did, and I am really sorry, but I had so much to deal with at that time, what with where should we dine in the evening, where would we have our pre dinner drink, should we go to see the comedian in the theatre or have a couple of hours in the casino. I know this is a poor excuse, but I was having a lot of stress as you can see and I just took my eye off the ball.

It seemed so easy at the time, there they were in that nice silver jar and as fast as I removed them and put them in the empty case under the bed they were replaced again as by magic. I should have known that it was too good to be true!!

Of course I would give them back if I could but unfortunately I do not still have them. The oatmeal ones were my favourite but all of them were consumed in short order when we got home. We always thought of our cruise when we had our morning coffee and a nice P&O biscuit.

So what should we do folks? Maybe I will write to P&O offering them a discount off my next cruise……if they don’t de select me””

Probably.

 

Thanks, David. I enjoyed it greatly.

 

If I'm re-elected, do you happen to know if one can flip assorted ships as one's second home, or do I have to select just the one?

I think you might be alone. Or you might be a Member of Parliament who can't see the funny side! Or perhaps it was too early in the morning for you :D

I know I may appear thick and uneducated but >>>

Can somebody please enlighten me as I am still unaware what it means ?

Are you American?

 

David.

[Marmaduke]

Don't worry Balf, you are not alone. I know of other people with the same addiction (to P & O biscuits for those of you who haven't the faintest idea what this thread is about).

[bobarnie]

Are you American?

 

David.

 

No I am English. Does that make a difference ?:confused:

[cottonbuddas]

Sorry, Bobarnie. You obviously aren't addicted to the revelations about MPs lining their pockets. Balf in his OP used all the excuses they have made for dipping their snouts in the trough, except that Balf's misdemeanour was only about P&O biscuits, not our taxes.

Martian?

Wow has life finally been detected on Mars ? :rolleyes:

Oh now I see lol. The most shocking one of late is the MP who claimed for a £5 donation he made during a church service. Those that have been lining their pockets at our expense shoud be ashamed of themselves amd make puplic appologies and pay it all back. The worst culprits should step down now.

 

I also think it is time we had a gerneral election.

 

 

I am sorry I was so slow to see the irony in your post.

My case was so full of them, porter refused to take my cases, said they were over the weight limit, they did not last long when I got home though, no replacements.:D

[the english lady]

I must confess some of ours escaped into the bag that went home with me..I have no idea how they got there...they were just there when I got home....the honey and oatmeal are the best. we didn't start until a few days into ours though,so does that mean I am not so naughty as you?

[LibraLass41]

I have about 40 packets from a 9n cruise ending today!

[Morgans]

It's got to be the lemon/orange ones for us!! Know exactly how you feel balf!

[sillysausage]

have you been 'CLAIMING' at the EXPENSE of pno???

hope you enjoyed your FLIPping biccis!

[davedex]

WHERE O WHERE can i get these biccys from in the UK???? I have tried to find them, but no sucess - I know they are trying to get out of the factory to be reunited with me but alas i have not found them yet. If anyone knows who makes them, would they let me know ( if that is allowed?)

[Noblemount]

Crumbs ! Did you try a Ginger one ? :confused:

[the english lady]

not sure where you get the orange/lemon or honey/oats ones from,but the little ones you have with the posh coffees in the bars, hubby ordered from tescos when we got back..we food shop on line..

[LibraLass41]

No ginger ones now or priory crumbles...we had lots and lots of orange and lemon shortbread, a few oat ones and a few shortbread rings....

 

You can buy them online I will try and find the weblink.

[timetravellers]

On our very first cruise last year (Ventura), it took us just 24 hours to realise the magic of the automatic refilling of the biscuit tin!

Didn't count how many ended up in the suitcase but it was close to a bed size drawer full!

I wonder what the cabin steward thought of the lack of biscuit wrappers in the waste basket?
