#JAFFACAKES

Mcvitie’s has reduced the size of a pack from 12 to 10, and people are, understand­ably, not happy about it. @Robmoore_1 fumed: “It takes a lot to outrage me, but just read that @Mcvities have skunk a packet of Jaffa Cakes from 12 to 10 for same price! #jaffacakeg­ate” @Hannahrk22 noted: “I’ve only just got over the Toblerone issue now they’re making Jaffa cakes smaller and putting less in a box.” @Amie_ee reasoned: “I’m actually glad they’re making Jaffa Cake boxes smaller because now I can feel less guilty when I inevitably binge eat an entire box.” @Mrgilkes posted: “First they came for the Freddos and I said nothing then they came for the Toblerones and I said nothing. Now they’ve come for my Jaffa Cakes.” @tkbeynon observed: “People raging about smaller Jaffa Cakes boxes but I’m still reeling from fact its ‘orange’ flavour is one big lie.”

#SIRTERRYWO­GAN

The BBC Radio 2 broadcaste­r posthumous­ly topped a Radio Times poll of radio presenters. It was one poll which seemed to unite everyone. @alanswan tweeted: “A poll you can’t really argue with ‘Terry Wogan voted greatest BBC radio presenter’.” @Dennydimpd­en said: “Who could disagree? Those dulcet tones & spectacula­r humour were a joy not to mention he was an all round loveable chap” @Damianastu­art posted: “Terry Wogan named best BBC radio presenter ever. As the Togmeister would have said: ‘And they paid for this research?’ #alwaystheb­est” @Litchick79 enthused: “This is lovely. God I miss him.”

#80SMOVIEPR­OTIPS

You can learn a lot from 80s movies, whether it is The Breakfast Club, Die Hard or ET. @Alohababe2­011 recommende­d: “Get Saturday detention, it’s so much cooler than after school detention.” @Lanaranjam­ala noted: “If your mom is busy enough at work, you can literally have an alien living in your house for weeks without her noticing.” @craigflynn­1 suggested: “Use your sales skills to become a top notch hostage negotiator.” @Nessa_star4 tweeted: “If your dad brings you a cute pet as a Christmas gift...follow the directions!” @lauraleigh­003 tweeted: “Best way to clean your car? Wax on, wax off of course.”
