Thousands of packets of chocolate biscuits have washed up on the Lancashire shore from a stricken ferry. The McVitie's biscuits were being carried on lorries aboard the Riverdance, which ran aground off north shore near Blackpool on Thursday night.

Does anyone else remember when a ship accidentally lost aload of cars, bikes etc and people did have the right to steal them? That was interesting :P
At least all of the people in Lancashire can enjoy a heart felt game of soggy biscuit :)

Yeah, I lived near that, you could practically see it. At the time I was on a flight too, so you could see it overhead.
Mcvities must be thinking that just takes the biscuit... But I guess thats how the cookie crumbles.
