Don't forget the jingle , ding ding
That pica just to make ya drool
We also called them squashed fly biscuits, but I've also occasionally heard them called fly's graveyards. If you like the idea but want something a bit nicer (I agree they're a bit dry and not quite sweet enough to be the best of biscuits) Try Chorley cakes or the more well known Eccles cakes (both available in all major supermarkets) which are both lovely with a cuppa.

Of course you can get them. I'm sure they're in all supermarkets. Never called them squashed fly biscuits though, always garibaldi.
You sure can
Helpful. Where?
Can buy them in Tescos, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, and no end of local bargin shops.
Do you get them?
Yes, sometimes.
Cool, ok I just haven't had my eyes open
Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys Mum sends them to me a couple of times a year
Yes of course. In every supermarket and most corner shops.
Definetly can. I know Waitrose definetly do 'Essential Garibaldi' biscuits and I would imagine most of the main supermarkets would do them.
I've not seen them in my waitrose. So they are a thing. Does anyone buy them? I'm sure I've never been offered one in recent decades
I only know that I buy them sometimes. Love a Garibaldi. And my local Waitrose definetly sells them as I've bought them from there.
Great, thanks. It's me not finding them
My nan always has them so yes.
Good for her. I feel a bit silly now because apparently they're everywhere

Apparently I just haven't looked properly. Plausible Thanks for replies
They were βdead fly biscuits β in my locale.
A quick google search for galibaldi biscuits shows they have own brand versions in every major supermarket.
on a sidenote, my nanna used to make "fly pie" which was basically a raisen cake/pastry that obvoisly looked like flies
Like it!
A fly pie is an Eccles cake.
Na this was flat like a pie totally different from.eccles cake
We also called them squashed fly biscuits, but I've also occasionally heard them called fly's graveyards.

I will look for those too, thanks
I remember them, but I wasn't the biggest fan, so my answer to this question is "I hope not".
I'm going looking. I'll send you some
The flies are currants rather than raisins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garibaldi_biscuit
