Absolutely - and it is a fine line to know how long to dunk any particular type biscuit to give the desired result of course! A couple of seconds too long and......... Ugh, what a mess.

The only exception to this rule is for my favourite of all, Lu Chocolate Chip Cookies which must NEVER be dunked as you lose the glorious crisp and crumbly texture

Haha true, mastering the dunking time is an art

As per chocolate chip cookie, true as long as fresh and gooey under the crisp exterior!

What's the worst thing about losing your biscuit when you dunk it in your cup of tea?
Losing the second one you send in on a rescue mission.

🙋‍♀️guilty as charged my lord.

Oh no, the cookies I mention are crisp and crumbly throughout - they do not have a chewy core at all but they are extremely delicious - just watch watch out for escaping crumbs and chocolate chips if you are watching TV on the sofa - they can make a nasty mess on the upholstery!

I seem to remember that some time ago one of the manufacturers was making a biscuit specifically for dunking? Can't remember what it was called and I am not sure if they are still sold?

I know I've nominated this before, but having burgled someone else's dog's leavings today, those who don't clear up after their dogs deserve their own pit of damnation.

If be happy if there were no such things as dogs - they've never been anything other than a nuisance to me.
At this point, dog owners will be saying "it's not the dogs, it's their owners" I've heard it all before.
Like the dog that jumps up and puts muddy paws on my white t shirt in the park - where the owner says "he's never done that before" or " he's only being friendly".
They need to understand that if people wanted a dog sniffing and licking around them, they'd own one of their own.

And don't whatever you do, however respectfully, suggest to a dog owner that their dog should be under better control....🤬

As a dog owner, I've done that on many occasions. It is the owner's fault. A dog that might not always do what it should, or behave respectfully to other people and other dogs, should be on the lead unless it is in clear space. That's how we do it, and others should do the same. It'll probably be a cold day in hell, but there you go...

I remember, very many years ago, I was driving the firms transit looking for a site in a small village in Somerset and as I came around a blind corner, thankfully slowly, there was a very, how can I put this, upper class well to do "lady" coming towards me on a very well groomed horse. Unfortunately, her hound was just running loose back and forth across the road presumably following a scent. I literally had to do an emergency stop to avoid running over it and she did not blink or even look at me until I politely suggested her dog should be on a lead.
The short reply, as she just carried on past my stationary vehicle - "Oh, just get on with your work" - a phenomena she had never experienced I think! Classic.

In my experience of more than 60 years, living in Somerset, most of the time in villages, that is quite unusual. If you drive considerately around horses, good for your own safety as well as the rider's, most will give you a smile or a wave, because they appreciate your being considerate, too many drivers are not...

I can verify that it is much the same down in Devon

As it is in South Wales also.
