Nothing is more quintessentially English than a nice cup of tea and a biscuit? Do you know your classic tea-time biscuits. Apologies to our American cousins who I believe may refer to a biscuit as a "cookie".

"Scouting For Boys" Robert Baden-Powell 1908
|
The 1908 tome from the founding father of Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell, is couched in remarkable phraseology and frequently breaches what we would perceive to be the rules of “political correctness”. Enjoy my very light-hearted examination of his work.
