funny old world. 

In fact the cake/biscuit debate was won recently by McVities because they proved the difference between cakes and biscuits is that when stale, biscuits go soft but cakes go hard.

What I can't fathom is why VAT (a tax on luxuries in theory) is applied to biscuits but not cakes - never mind, long live the JaffaCAKE.

ahh thats an easy one soz i study accounting.  well its because anything with chocolate is chargged vat because its considered confectionary.  so chocolate biscuits are allwaysds more expensive.   and unfortunatley jaffa cakes are included

Curses. So even though they proved they were cakes they were still knobbled because of the chocolate?
