If you could get rid of one task or annoying system feature what would it be?
 
Tea and biscuits. Spend far too much time at the kettle and trying to decide on Hobnobs, digestives or squashed fly. Or all three but don’t tell the wife.

I think the clear problem is there needs to be more biscuits

Ideally tea should be supplied at regular interval with a variety of biscuits. But as Mrs Overall declined the role and my wife looked on scornfully when I suggested she bring me refreshments I’ve got to do it myself.

I have however saved money by buying £3 boxes of broken biscuits delivered weekly by the milkman

Are broken biscuits still on the go? I remember when I was a kid my mother bought big tins of them from the village shop then my brother and I would spend ages sifting through them to find one that was actually complete. We never did find one.

Google tells me you can get them from loads of places. Latest box had a bunch of almost perfect jammie dodgers!

£4.95 from the milkman. A bargain!
