Jaffa!

I collect and restore classic cars, and I too, will have nothing but a Jaffa when I'm working/pottering. Nice piece.

Record on the Squadron was 11 seconds from closed packet of Jaffas to every one down a gullet.

Animals!

Guess which Squadron!

From the link:
When asked what would become of the Vulcan after its retirement, Pleming stated that there are very early plans for it to become a centrepiece at a new college he intends to open, aimed at 7-14-year-olds who want to get into engineering (with a particular focus on attracting more girls to the field).
I know what is meant, but I think the sub-editor should have seen how it would look in print.
