You've got to believe it, Spot... We're talking English people there. Eccentricity is part of the fabric of life... And don't imagine that Winnie the Pooh societies are for kiddies....... No way! Respectable blue-rinsed grannies discuss at length Owl's reading abilities or pore over a map of the 100 AKER Wood. No wonder they need Jaffa Cakes to survive!!!

Love the English, really

It appears there was a Jaffa Cake Club in the Eighties! Can anyone who was a kid in the 80s remember this?? You can buy memorabilia on e-bay:

We're not the only ones to discuss those yummy cakes at length and waste invaluable working hours . The very respectable Winnie-the-Pooh society has been there, written to McVities and got a reply!
