    A local supermarket is now loaded for Easter.
    They are selling Hot Cross Bunetone, who thought this was a good idea.

      So cinnamon flavoured shortbread, that sounds good. I like cinnamon on a cappuchino, but I don't call it hot cross bun flavoured cappuchino.

        I have never liked shortbread for some reason and we can't get hot cross buns here so I make my own. We have them on Good Friday and there are enough to last till Easter Sunday by which time I'm done.

        I even have to make our own crumpets! No bad thing really.

        Never enough cinnamon in buns these days I have to sprinkle more on after the butter, but it would be better if they actually put more in the bun along with some mixed spice.

            @NigelJ When I was at Grammar school we had a brilliant Biology teacher who wasn't allowed to teach 6th form because he didn't have a university degree. He had 'only' been to teacher training college. A number of us had to re-sit our Biology 'O' level, but were considered by the school to be in the 6th form. The Head of Biology was without doubt the worst teacher we had ever experienced, so a few of us sat in on the 5th form Biology lessons, taught by the great guy. That was OK when only a few were missing, but when his whole class failed to turn up the HoB realised something was up. I can't remember how we managed it, but we were allowed to stick with our method, and we all passed 2nd time around.
            I can't speak for the others but the reason I failed first time round was nothing to do with the quality of the teaching. For me, the loss of grandparents at the start of my 4th year destroyed my interest in everything for a long time.
