Buying your own Birthday Cake

Sometimes, we try and bring back the most bogging sweets we can find. 

We have an earthy guy here who brings in rhubarb thingies...

He grows the stuff apparently....which is fine. But he must grow an awful lot.

I must say I've never noticed this, because in the two jobs I had as a student here in the UK, we always got cake and sometimes sandwiches and chips and all sorts when it was someone's birthday.

Any excuse for a party in the office I worked in! There was also only six of us in our department so it made it easier.

I'm always happy to bring back sweets from holiday, that tradition I like.  Long ago I learned the hard way never to bring back Hershey's chocolates.  British people only know one thing about American chocolate and that's they hate Hershey's.  If you bring in Hershey's, you get a whole day of each and every British person proudly telling you that one thing like they are the first to think of it. 

"Yes, I know Hershey's tastes like barf to you.   Next please!"
