DATE BAKE

1983, what a year
Madonna releases first record album
Richard Noble breaks land speed record
'Hitler's diaries' are exposed as a hoax
Karma Chameleon by Culture Club is the top selling single in the UK
Cabbage Patch Kids are the best selling toy of the year
and Bettys produce their first Fat Rascal

I think like me you all supposed that the Fat Rascal was a staple offering from the finest Yorkshire baker since the little swiss genius of the rolling pin first opened the doors of his esteemed establishment back in 1919, I was surprised to see the shop window this afternoon, this delicacy has only been available for the past thirty years, not that I've ever tasted one mind as I can't stand fruit cake & the like but come the Summer they bring out the littler Rascal, no fruit but plenty of chocolate & orange to tantalise the tastebuds.
If you ever needed a reason to celebrate then nows the time, get down & join the queue my friends, you know you want to!
