Love a mint

He’s got a very good point
Oh my good god. I am in pieces after that! Slumped on the sofa, tears streaming down my face and coughing with laughter… Send help
Thanks, OP, for sharing. I’ve not heard that before.
Oh god, thank you for this.
Damn that biscuit sounds good.
Thanks for that, OP. I’ve never heard that call in before.
Now I really want a ~~Viscount~~ minty biscuit.
That was amazing. I’m off to find a very nice minty biscuit myself now
Thought it was going to be one of the bob Mortimer prank calls
This is what British people should be worrying about. Not house prices, the cost of living, global warming etc. Ministers need to sort their shit out so we can all get back to focusing on the important issues such as the accessibility of specific types of minty biscuits.
This is one of the best things I have ever heard. Thank you, OP.
Lost it when he started just forcefully saying “chocolate”
Late night Iain Lee made my night shift tolerable.
But have you heard of the biscuit? The minty one? The chocolate minty one?
Isn’t this the guy that used to be on Steve Wright in the afternoon BBC radio show?
Didnt listen but I assure you Alan Bewswick is/was/will be the king of call ins.
Why did the presenter have to keep cutting him off? I’d like to hear more about the biscuit. I think it’s minty, which has piqued my interest but I’d really like to know about its topping and texture.
‘.. they’re posh like a confectionery one belonging to the fourth rank of British peerage might have in their waiting chambers languishing in a silver bowl.’
This made me laugh so hard I cried and then anytime I thought I’d stopped laughing I’d start again (just like when we’d all thought Barry had stopped talking about the biscuits and then he’d start again). Thank you, OP.
As someone who has worked in retail this is the tip of the iceberg for dealing with some people.
CHOC-LIT !
Commenting so I can come back and listen to this in the morning
Never heard this. I’m in stitches.
I like how he refuses to be distracted from describing the biscuit in precise terms. The more the presenter tries to move him along the more he digs on the texture or composition or packaging of the biscuit. Details matter.
Details matter.
That’s brilliant but Barry shouldn’t be using his wife’s badge. May all your Viscounts be orange Barry.

I’m more of a fan of [Keith, and his fast running nephew.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaRGtrYKqys)

Before I listen to this… Minty biscuits?

Thank you. I laughed so much.
