Jeremy Corbyn's favourite biscuit

Always chocolate River anything less just wouldn't do.

I am ashamed to admit I am a terrible dunker. but never in front of new customers unless they dunk first.

trisher, so not true, you never miss a chance to belittle me, your problem because you always fail, I am unbillitable

Here you are [Rosieroe] early 19th century (in the sense ‘drink together’): from archaic hob or nob, hob and nob, probably meaning ‘give and take’, used by two people drinking to each other's health, from dialect hab nab ‘have or not have’.

You know I really fancy a hobnob right now and I've only got chocolate digestives in the house.

I wonder what the derivation of the word "hobnobbing" is and did it come before or after the invention of the hobnob?

Are your Hobnobs chocolate gilly?

And more importantly, do you dunk?

I think MN should ask that as a follow-on question - it's important to know who's really on the side of the working classes.

Oh, guilty as charged jings

The greedy pigs lads are only too happy when I turn up on 2nd January laden with tins of biscuits, left over cake and tubs of chocolates.

[*gillybob*! You are a 'Fatten the Workers' fiend! (the after Xmas thing)

Our customers love coming to us for meetings, even though some times it would be more practical for us to go to them. Apparently word has got around about our comprehensive biscuit stash, which has something to suit almost every taste, even JC. Specially if it is just after Christmas as I bring the left over shortbreads to work to get them out of the house use up.

We have regular customers (Engineers) who now have the cheek to request certain biscuits when they arrange a meeting. "yes, we will be there for 11 am can you make sure Gilly has plenty of Hobnobs"

nosnibor3 a meeting without any biscuits laid on?! Shame!

What was her favourite biscuit trish? No research complete till you've found that.

About 30 years ago Jeremy Corbyn came to speak at local Labour Party meeting. Living in a constituency which is so blue they weigh the Tory votes instead of counting them, we were thrilled to have a Labour MP to speak to us. I know I enjoyed the meeting, both his talk & questions afterwards; but I can't remember anything he said!I found out afterwards that I was not the only one, we were totally captivated by the small (5p size?) hole in his jumper! No biscuits noticed.

If it is viewed as such I apologise Rosieroe however Annie constantly emphasises her Labour background and connections, I just wanted to make her aware that I know something of Labour history.

You possibly didn't mean to belittle Anniebach, Trisher but your last post could be read as an attempt at intellectual snobbery - something quite often used to intimidate and stifle debate.

I think it's not a bad thing that he admitted to not knowing Ant & Dec - that's far more sincere than Blair with his glottal stops, and Cameron & Osborne pretending to be football fans.

Cameron got confused with which team he was supposed to support, Aston Villa, he referred to West Ham (same colour strip) .

Jeremy Corbyn is a lovely honest man. I first met him at a conference thirty years ago and he hasn't changed a bit. We are so used to spin and deceit that we believe everything we read. I also eat healthily but enjoy a biscuit and sometimes accept a piece of home made cake rather than offend. John McDonnell has stuck up for workers and stood alongside them in rain and snow for years. I worked my sox off before retirement so I understand what that is worth. Whatever your political belief what's not to like! Ant and Dec--who they??

So why bring in the interview comment or the wives Anniebach any excuse for a chance to attack eh? As for heroes most of mine are women. Currently probably Lisbeth Simm because of the research I am doing. Great socialist woman who I don't suppose you've even heard of.

Ana, I think Brown finally decided on chocolate biscuits

trisher, it's light relief chat , not an attack on your hero

Oh for God's sake have you lot nothing better to do than pick every statement to bits. As for 'forcing' if you don't understand that you can't have Irish ancestors. My gran (Irish Family) always insisted you had something with a cup of tea and pushed the cake/piece of pie/biscuit onto a plate in front of your nose until you agreed to eat it. You wouldn't have got out of her house until you had.
I'm anti-sugar as well, I just don't have any will power!!!

Corbyn is a lefty Trump !

Wasn't Gordon Brown extremely reluctant to give an answer on this subject? Can't remember what he came up with eventually...

'A man who cannot name a favourite biscuit cannot govern the country.' I think Samuel Johnson said that. (Not).

Anniebach or a 'front man' who is being manipulated and dare not say anything he's not permitted to as it may be contrary to agenda.

Elysium, he does draw women doesn't he? Wonder why, perhaps he brings out their mothering instincts Yet he has had three wives , most strange man
