A BIG tin of biscuits bearing a stirringly patriotic design will be opened by the public in less than 72 hours.
Bought from a supermarket for an exorbitant price, the tin is impressively sized and is believed to contain all kinds of very tasty chocolate biscuits as well as some less pleasant pink wafers.
The British people have said that the tin of biscuits is nearly the most exciting thing about the diamond jubilee weekend, second only to getting shitfaced on Thursday night and not stopping until Monday.
Mechanic Julian Cook said: I dont know much about the royal family is the Queen the boss one, or Fergie? – but I do know there are very few occasions in this world important enough to be marked with biscuits in a tin.”
Teacher Nikki Hollis said: The presence of assorted biscuits encased in metal makes this weekend as exciting as Christmas. Will there be good telly too?
Marketing manager Mary Fisher agreed: I like those honeycomb ring biscuits they do with chocolate stripes, and I plan to stuff them in my face while shouting God save the Queen. Do you think shell be happy with that, or should I wave a flag as well?
The biscuits are the only aspect of the Diamond Jubilee widely understood by the British public, who are confused about why the Queen has given them a day off when she could have given them stamps or money.
The widespread street parties that marked the Silver Jubilee in 1977 are not expected to be repeated because nowadays everyone hates their neighbours.
