Molly J asked for some custard creams, we normally have a treat on a Friday night (living at the edge, whooping it up) Mrs J came back from work and said that there was a biscuit shortage due to the floods in Cumbria. NOT ONE COBRA MEETING HAS BEEN HELD AND EVERYONE IS PONCING ABOUT TALKING ABOUT EUROPE!!! express.co.uk
