I like the dark chocolate wheaten biscuits (Griffins brand)

Are they a local biscuit for local people ?

I have just flown from Perth to Kununurra. (actually I just sat inside the plane which did the flying). It is the longest scheduled intrastate flight in the world. 3 hours, 10 minutes.

Over 3 hours in a plane and I am still in Western Australia

What are you doing there?

Would love to have a look around that North Western Coast and Kimberly area one day.

Thirteen million chocolate digestive biscuits a day are produced by McVities - I'm addicted to the buggers. lol

My local shop always has the small packs for a £1, i buy one in the morning when on the way to work and by mid morning coffee they are usually well gone!

Ancient woodland means a wood that has existed since 1600 (although it may not have all that many old trees if it has been continually felled and re-planted).

Example on Merseyside is Dibbinsdale nature reserve in Port Sunlight on the Wirral.

Came up for 5 days as there were cheap flights. Done a scenic flight over the Bungle bungles, sunset cruise on lake Argyle and going for a canoe up the Ord river tomorrow. Other than that, enjoying the weather (38-40 degrees every day), sitting by the pool, drinking cold beer and couple of walks through the gorges. It really is an amazing place, will put up some photos when I get them off my phone.

The fact that this is a place is possibly the greatest fact in the long and sordid history of facts. @Bungle

that spot in Western Australia (Bungle Bungles) sounds exactly like the sort of isolated, private situ you may well have cavorted about in...and misplaced your pair of zippered leather knickers that the Mirror was banging on about.
It's a rum do Jamo...but good on you!

If I'd misplaced them at Bungle Bungles, I'm pretty sure everyone on this forum would know about it.
