My mum and I absolutely love Biscuits AB, I got a taste for them when my old man was in the mob. When I was in I used to cadge as many of them as I could from mates to take home for my ma.

I am (un)reliably told that the AB stands for Anal Blockage

If you want one or more then let me know and they are yours for a donation to Help for Heros.
They might be a bit heavy and expensive to post but i can get them to Portsmouth if you want to collect them.

Forgot to say - not sure what menus they are but can let you know tonight if your interested.

me seen them..

couldnt believe how mush stuff came out of one box !! yorkie bars too ..

Ration packs don't do it for me. Even if they don't taste awful they still have me pooping through the eye of a needle for a week. I make and consume a couple of hundred dehydrated meals (packed lunch and overnight supplies) each year plus a large amount of dried fruit, fruit leathers and jerked beef. It's easy and for (say) a 3 day supply does not require any special gear.
Store bought dehydrated meals usually need a fair bit of carb (eg rice or pasta) added to make them a meal.

apparently its got some cancer assisting chemicals in it.

Wonderful. Nice to know. I used to love the stuff. Does that mean i'm a dead man walking.
