He threw out United Biscuit's appeal. | | | Paddy Behan, VAT partner at Grant Thornton, said United Biscuits had been unlucky: 'There are elements of Greek tragedy about this farce because the case turns on the meaning of the word "preparation".' |

| | United States army rations - definition of United States army rations in Encyclopedia |
| | From the Revolutionary war to World War I, the United States army ration, as decreed by the Continental Congress, was the garrison ration which consisted of meat (or salt fish), bread, vegetables and something to drink (which in 1775 was supposed to be milk but which, in practice, could be an alcoholic beverage). | | | The reserve ration was considered to be food for a single day carried by the individual soldier as a substitute, in case other food became unavailable and the emergency ration, also carried on the soldier's person, was concentrated food such as beef powder mixed with wheat flour. | | | Most of these rations ceased after World War II but the C-rations continued until 1983 when they were replaced by the MRE, the Meal Ready to Eat. |

| | When United biscuits acquired Jacobs UK business and its brands last year who could have imagined that the writing was on the wall for Rover, (again the biscuits not the car maker). | | | This is all well and good, but for those who quite like like the biscuits the prospect of having to stay in a hotel room for the night or take a long train journey just to get access to a few tasty biscuits seems a bit excessive. | | | It's remarkably like the hardback, only with a new cover which as you see is covered in biscuits, nineteen different sorts, plus a couple of jaffa cakes. |
