What a shocking revelation by your pal Mr Frog.
First Dog, I also used to arrive home to an empty house and watch television – but comforted myself with Napoleon cake or Menz Yo-Yo biscuits (the latter was an Adelaide delicacy).

Yo Yo biscuits. Are they the ones with coconut on top?

I love “unplug the toaster first”

The one piece of advice my Dad gave me that was any good, to which I paid only partial attention was ‘Check out the old cheese, yours will look like that in 25 years or so”.
Sadly, that works both ways and now (bless his departed soul) he springs out of the mirror and mocks me.

@ Reb,
No, perhaps you’re thinking of the iced Vo Vo produced by Arnotts. Menz was a South Oz company; their Yo-Yo biscuit was oval, plain but sweet. When home alone and away from the critical eye of a parent I’d make a cup of tea and dunk them – ah, sublime wickedness!
