AND YETyou know it's a special day when there's teacakes on the table - perhaps an elderly reltive is having a birthday or a younger relative got found not guilty of a crime they did commit but they managed to intimidate the witnesses into not testifying THESE occassions would be cheapened by the use of an everyday biscut, no matter how great it is.

Trueexcept that you know there's somethign special about a biscuit when its mere appearance brightens the day. Would a teacake brighten a miserable grey day when the power's out and the light is failing? Well, yes, it would. As much as a pack of 10 caramel wafers? No.
