I think Peekay and I both had Five Live on at that time. Wagon Wheels - Hmm. Not sure they merit a mass debate... Anyway, to get back to the subject, I guess they could be construed as having cake-like properties: A hard, crumble-like base, with a wedge of fondant pavlova-esque meringuey stuff, then is there some jam or sauce, like a victoria sponge? Finally it's all topped off with a chocolate-flavoured coating. Not that you'd need a spoon or fork to eat one. I haven't had a Wagon Wheel in 30 years, so I don't claim to be an expert. I imagine the TMS Team are short on critical faculties out there anyway, suffering from the heat, and double-decker bus withdrawal.... In case anyone's wondering, this National Debate is raging because of VAT relief allowable on cake, but not biscuits: www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A4803040 (final paragraph.) Marks & Sparks just won their Appeal over Tea Cakes with HMRC. You might think it small potatoes, but HMG got their just desserts, and M&S could wipe the egg off their faces after they were creamed in Court last year. A £6M rebate is no mere trifle!

Is that your cultured, informed opinion of Customs & Excise?

Well, when you tread on one, it has the same consistency as dogshit, slightly crusty on the outside and slimy-gooey on the inside, smells disgusting, too

Can't say that my dog has ever done an orangey smelling poo.

No but the wife does! ;D I keep telling her not to. Chocolate isn't very good for dogs.
