Right now that's been said, the Collins Engish Dictionary states that a biscuit is :
'a small flat dry sweet or plain cake of many varieties, baked from a dough.'
I hate to disagree with a dictionary, but a biscuit is definitely not a cake.
Of course, over the atlantic, the merkins refer to a scone as a biscuit, a biscuit as a cookie, and a bar as a candy. Why don't they film programmes in front of dead studio audiences? Rod.
