Scone fact no 4: All FFSPS ( Full Factory Scone Palace Scones) are prepared freshly in The Scone Palace.
Scone fact no. 5: FFSPS have two release dates each MGP, the first is Saturday 16th usually coinciding with the opening of Scrutineering. The second has no official date at present as is usually announced during practice week.
Scone fact no. 6: As a dedication to the outgoing C.O.C we did have regular delays to the release of the FFSPS on the second release date

NOD the FFSPS are ONLY available at The Manx Grand Prix, so you need to use that as an excuse to come over.

Just came across this interesting fact
A spoonful of baking soda DOES speed you up, say scientists
Do the scones contain this performance enhancing chemical? and is it legal?

As I recall the scones were never a production of the Ranger, but rather he was the recipient having been the victim of a windup that a certain lady had taken a fancy to him and was offering scones as a token of her affections. Said lady saw the joke, though the Ranger took a while longer having spent a nervous week
RE: Scone facts - Gstarron - 19-08-2008
Well, I did get to SEE the scones today... as they were making their way up to the Scrutineering bays.... they looked tasty....
Cheers..!!
