So sorry you're feeling YUK tonight!

Thanks for bringing up the Guide Biscuits. I haven't seen one in many years.

We only ever got one choice here in Oz and that was a shortbread.

It was never ordinary shortbread though, and I have no idea how they made them, but they were always better than any biscuit you could buy at the supermarket.

As a 'brownie' then a 'Girl Guide', I sold my fair share of biscuits over the years, but I think my girlfriend has done better. She's been in Guides and Scouts since she was a tiny tot, and now she's 56.

She herself was a Brownie, then a Guide, then an Adventurer, then a Queens guide (that's special here in OZ), then she had children. Her children were boys so she turned her works to the boy scouts. She became a "Brown Owl", then the Scout Leader (I don't remember what that one's called or how to spell it, but it's the top scout one.), then Adventurer leader, then Ranger leader, in fact she became the leader of every group there was to do with cubs and scouts. I don't know if it's even the same in the US.

She's Deputy Commissioner of Scouts now here in my home state, and has travelled all over the world promoting scouts and guides.

I daresay she's sold a few more Guide biscuits than I ever did.
