Battenburg - Not

Just can't stand Battenburg. Not even a tablespoonful of it. Will have to be coleslaw instead. With kiwi fruit (which I also hate) for vitamins. And minerals etc. Actually, that seems quite a good diet. Another reason for not having Battenburg: everyone here at work has been giggling about it.

What kind of fat loser are you?
Just eat healthy food and do exercise Ms Porky. No one wants to go out with a lardy lady who talks about kittens and bubbles.

Dear Anonymous, well, that's rather an unkind comment. But, you know some people HAVE wanted to go out with me, even though I do talk about kittens and bubbles. Still, even though you have hurt my feeling by calling me Ms Porky I hope you have a nice evening, love scones

Doesn't understand people who are mean to others for no reason at all.

Cream teas, you are a sweet person!

Moo!

Dear Topiary, thank you so much for rallying. I don't know why it is, but people are always insulting me. But I try not to let it get me down. Love from sconesxx

No insults allowed to scones. New policy.

And, Cow admits she has never tasted a Battenburg and in fact isn't sure what it is. Some sort of cake you can buy in a store?

Mooing in cross-Atlantic confusion

Dear Topiary, I'm afraid you'd have to follow me around all day being terribly fierce (in a nice green bushy way) if you wanted to stop ALL insults. I just sort of attract them. But it's lovely to be defended here.
A Battenburg is a cheap nasty English cake, pretty to look at, chequered pink and yellow, the squarish bits glued together with jam, and the whole thing wrapped in almond paste. It would probably be delish if Heston Blumenthal or someone like that made it, but the ones you get in cornershops are so sweet you have to make a face when you eat it, and very stale. Ughh. Love from scones xx

Hmm. Stale cakes should not be allowed, for sure. In fact they should be thrown out so foraging critters can have a treat.

Moo!
