About McVitties
London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.1 million people in 2024. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.4 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the site of the national government and parliament for centuries. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split among the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire. Since 1965 it has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

They had the official one, which was made by McVitie's, but this was 1947. There was a lot of rations going on at the time. Eleven cakes were donated by different countries from around the world to say, you probably can't afford your own cake because of the rationing that's going.

Other times McVitties came up
Was it? The McVitties one, presumably. Yes. It had a metal knight on a horse on top of it. Pretty cool cake. Just one more thing, Prince William's wedding, 2011, his groom's cake for his wedding, was 1,700 McVitties rich tea biscuits. Oh, terrible choice. It was made from those. It wasn't like them stacked on each other. It was, I guess, crumbed up and used. It was a McViddy's cake as well.

If you take a digestive biscuit, they're not called digestive biscuits in America, are they because they don't help your digestion. I can't remember what they're called over there. They're just basically biscuits. The top is rounded and has a McVitties logo on. The bottom has kind of criss-cross on it. Then when you have a chocolate digestive, it's the criss-cross bit which has got the chocolate on it.

Layer that you can enjoy. Great. That's how good she was. She won. One kind of really amazing fact about Ginny is that she died, I think in 2003, although Dan, you may well tell me it was actually 2005. It was 2004. You're kidding. Unbelievable. What? I'm going to start writing dates down. All right, she died in 2004. I think she may have been diagnosed with cancer in 2003.

They're cruel and that's why they haven't sent women back to the North Pole. This is, of course, biscuit penguins. They were sponsored by McVitties. So McVitties provided them with a hard to nail down the number, maybe but thousands of penguins, I believe. One of the women said they were told to eat four penguins a day. Interesting. According to the biography, rigid women by Sue Richards and Victoria Richards.
