Gordon, I lived all my chilkdhood within sniffing distance of Bournville. Most of the time there was nothing, but if ever, while out playing, we got the aroma of cocoa, we knew it to be a sure sign that rain was on the way. It was something to do with the direction of prevailing wind, or something. Fact is, it was rarely wrong as well.
The chocolate mis-shapes, I can verify that. Time was when each worker was allowed 1 shopping visit to the staff shop each week, but staff would go together and just take it in turns to use one passcard so could get several visits anyway. If ever we managed to get a bag of mis-shapes this way, in brown paper bag iirc, they tasted brilliant - a real treasure trove. Then the shop became more upmarket and certainly no longer with the same sort of 'bargains'. Now, you can find mis-shapes in any Cadbury outlet shop in any outlet park, but they never seem as good as when I was little. Once Cadbury expanded and bought up other brands, the range of goods available in their staff shop vastly increased from all things chocolate. Been past there again today!
Anyone like the smell of baking bread? (Perhaps Keith Moon did, to bring it back on topic!)There is a Warburton's bakery over the road from the West Bromwich Albion FC ground and the smell of fresh bread wafts around the area at certain times of the day.
I live a couple of miles up the road from Grangemouth, home of BP.Every so often they do a burn-off with a huge flame and black smoke. When we moved here we thought there’d be ‘orrible pongs but apparently it can only be smelled in posh Linlithgow 4 miles east. Ha!
P, thats definitely a winner and tastes even better if you can get them still warm. When I was on nightshift years ago I used to pass a bakers on the way home and grab half a dozen fresh baked rolls, we lived close enough I could get home and slap some butter on and watch it melt into the bread, a little slice of heaven!
Walking around Camden yesterday people were openly smoking dope in the streets and the pungent, sweet and unmistakable smell was everywhere.I do remember as a kid being in Sheffield town centre when the nearby Lady's Bridge brewery was in full swing; the smell of hops or yeast nearly made me do a technicolour yawn.
If I'm ever driving through Uddingston I always roll the windows down to breathe in the fragrant chocolatey air which pervades the town from the local Tunnock's factory. Which brings us neatly back to biscuits.

oh! Lemon Puffs used to be my favourite. Never see them nowadays. Along with Lee's macaroon bars, which I used to be able to get but I guess have moved back home. And they changed Daims tut tut
I don't where you live, Sera, but in England you can get Lemon Puffs - Bolands usually, or sometimes Jacobs ones, in quite a few Supermarkets and in places like the Poundshops, Home Bargains and B&M.And Lee's Macaroon Bars are often for sale in Poundshops, Home Bargains and B&M as well plus they also occasionally turn up in places like Iceland ...

Strangely, I was about to make a similar comment. You could always try to find out Keith's biscuit preference, just to keep it relevant? Surely google would know the answer?
