Listen up! Some of us are fed up with muffins, cookies, peanut biscuits, American coffees

Ok, ironically, I have a muffin mix in my cupboard (ouch, slipping), but that was because a) sometimes I can be pretty lazy cook b) there’s wasn’t much of a selection of English cakes c) they’re easy to make

Confession over.

However, I am also sick to death of gateauxs, blueberry muffins and cookies and waffles. You can’t go anywhere in any English village or town without seeing some of these ‘evil alien species’. They have  a ‘grey squirrel factor’. It doesn’t exactly help our British business does it? How come Gordon Brown allows this stuff in.. surely they ought be taxed heftily?

In the future, maybe I shall make a more conscious effort to ‘boycott muffins’.
