We use personal biscuit tins that are only filled up once a week.
If you eat all your own biscuits in a couple of days then you're not allowed to steal from somebody else's tin.

We don't have a two biscuit rule, but if you take a third there are all these comments about not eating a proper breakfast or lunch, or spoiling the coming meal and I have noticed that when I offer biscuits around to visiting friends, they only take one or two biscuits too, so perhaps it is a part of British culture left over from when biscuits were expensive and only brought out on special occasions?

Yes, we had the 2 biscuit rule when I was younger. Trying to enforce it with my little girl but she just laughs in my face! If it was a normal biscuit we had the 2 biscuit rule, if it was a choccie biscuit then we were only allowed 1.

Ooh yes, we had lots of rules like that. You get one biscuit a day, with special biscuits (i.e. ones with chocolate) only allowed at the weekends. There was also special cereal (again normally stuff with chocolate) which was only allowed at weekends. You were only allowed to watch TV for an hour a day (this was to make us choose programs to watch, rather than just watching whatever junk was on). For lunch/tea weekdays you were allowed one piece of cake, at weekends you were allowed two.
If I think of any more I'll add them later. I don't follow these any more though, seeing as I've now left my parents house. I just have my partner imposing rules like only one chocolate bar a day. Only one packet of crisps a day....

We don't have tea in our house, we drink tea, usually throughout the course of the day, and as far as a biscuit, we eat until we are full.

i think people have similar rules. personally, i've never heard of the biscuit rule. but my family doesn't really eat biscuits. every family has certain rules that are set up to respect the family.

Well... playing by the rules should be more important then sticking another biscuit into your mouth.
Everybody has rules... it is how social order works.

I think you have been raised with good manners. The biscuits are meant to be a little snack not a meal. It bothers me when people bring their children over and the little brats plonk themselves in front of the refreshments and polish them off.

Er, no not in our house, there is only my hubby and me so we don't do rules with each other, though I guess if we had kids it might have been a good idea at some point throughout the day.

That's a funny one. Are you serious? If I were you, I would take more biscuits and have the other attendees bring some also. That will solve the mayhem.
