Hob nob is a bad boy biscuit. I think it's the salt in them, makes you more thirsty for your tea, like peanuts with a pint.

remember a few years back an ad for HP sauce which was all like people getting home from long journeys and havin hp on a bacon sarnie or whatever and how good it felt to be home with HP? you could get it from that kinda angle but with stuff 18-24 year olds come home from. or not even home... you've got burger van tea, tea ladies on the fabric queue tea. just got home tea is the best tho. after raving all night... beautiful. so kinda market it as the thing to have after doing what u do when you're 18-24

think cookies are a hybrid between cakes and biscuits
mainly because cookies can be soft and doughy
and contain fruit
a typical biscuit is rich tea which is very bland and doesnt suck up much tea
im sad but i dont care

Yeah this was what I was thinking...something like, "because there's nothing like a nice cuppa tea", which quite obviously, there isn't. Have people coming in from a night out and drawing for the tea and biscuits.

custard creeeeeeeams! all of the stock for the whole building at work is in the basement kitchen where us runners hang out and we just drink tea and eat custard creams and hobnobs and crumpets all day. and then we sneak packets of custard creams into our bags for domestic consumption

Cake or Biscuit?
I say cake.
Cakes get hard when they are stale.
Biscuits gets soft when they have been ripening for a few days.
Jaffa Cakes harden pretty quick therfore - Cake
this was actually settled in a court of law a while ago:
Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes — they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are classed as luxury items and are subject to VAT at 17.5%. McVitie's classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in court.[1] This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit. The question which had to be answered was what criteria should be used to class something as a cake or biscuit. McVitie's defended the classification of Jaffa Cakes as a cake by producing a giant Jaffa Cake to illustrate that their Jaffa Cakes were simply mini cakes.
They also argued that the distinction between cakes and biscuits is simply that cakes go hard when stale, whereas biscuits go soft. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale and McVitie's won the case.
