The FC has just brought these in. I’m not too sure how I actually feel about being eaten, especially after being dunked in a really hot cup of proper @YorkshireTea *hides biscuits on #nationalbiscuitday

Niche opinion, but endnotes in books are rubbish compared to footnotes. That little superscript number in the text night be referring to four paragraphs of vital context or just "Ibid, p.264" and there's no way of knowing whether it's worth looking or not
