Jaffa choco sound delish! As for my fave bisquits, they have to be those strawberry jam ones from the bakery opposite my house.. Yum! Unfortunately i haven't got a picture of them.

JOEP-BISCUIT-TRUFAX:

Due to the Mars company ill-fated and ill-advised change of name to 'BELIEVE' during the world cup to support the England soccer ball team up here in Scotland people are now shunning said confectory vis a vis deep frying. Now the battered and deep fat fry squads are having deep fried tunnocks wafers. That is all.

I've just discovered these particularly brilliant wafers in our local Turkish supermarket. I swear the Turks are the absolute dons of the dessert, and these are really a cut above your average wafer, and delightfully dinky to boot.

Sounds good. The orange ones, I have just discovered go REALLY well with a nice glass of cold Chablis.

@Ladytron you may be right, it may be that it was just over excitement at a new discovery, and perhaps they're not as good as e.g. Garden Wafers but I do really like the cocount ones.
