Poker terminology.

At least when I first played 5 card draw many years ago in Ireland.

Set = Trips
Straight = Run
Broadway Straight = High Run
Flush = Blue
Quads = Poker

Set = Trips


both are different

set is when you have a pocket pair and hit a 3rd on the board really hard to spot and very easy to "SET" a trap with

trips is when there is a pair on the board and you "triple up" with one in your hand alot easier to spot than the set

Agree about raisins in double deckers - they were much better.  Perhaps we should start a campaign to bring them back?  They definitely still had raisins in the early 90s



I emailed cadburys back in Jan 2003 about this and they changed the recipe in 1986 after consumer research - though I don't recall being asked .  They first came out in 1978 if anyone is interested/cares

In fairness Tex I was the only person asked and I made my views very forcibly known as to what to do with the raisins.............
