    Cat Dung Coffee a hit in London

    Yet more proof that every yuppie in London is a c**t.

    EDIT Age-old argument between cakes and biscuits set to cost UK taxman Ł3.5million

    There is something quintessentially British about arguing whether something is a cake or a biscuit, the classic example being Jaffa Cakes, an argument that ludicrously went to a UK court. The thing is, in the UK, biscuits are taxed, whereas cake are not, so not only are cake and biscuit labels for a product, they are also legal definitions. I love stuff like this that makes Britain so...British. I doubt there's another country in the world that is so particular about tea-time snacks. If biscuits and cakes were not so intrinsically fused in with the custom of tea-time, one of the everyday occasions Britons hold most dear, I doubt it'd make much difference.

    Anyway, now a particular brand of cakes has been mistakenly labelled as biscuits for 20 years, thus the UK has been wrongfully earning 20 years worth of tax on these cakes, and is now being forced to pay it back.
