Can you get the following in Oz!?

Re: Can you get the following in Oz!?
All available here except pickled beetroot (thank god, will Poll on that one, it's the food of the devil and should be banned) but you can get it in British shops I guess.
Sugar free ice pops are in Woolies definitely but can't remember the name but they're sold unfrozen and I think they're kept with the dessert stuff like jelly, tinned fruit, that sort of area. They're in a big pack of about 20. If I remember when I nip down later, I'll check out the name for you.
Sugar free fizzy? There's shed loads of the stuff but I am violently against it as I refuse to have anything with man made sweeteners in so I only have the full sugar fizzy or cordial and monitor the amount we drink.

Beetroot. Are you guys actually in Oz? They are obsessed with it. I remember my first shop in a Sydney supermarket and standing there looking perplexed at why they needed half a dozen shelves just for differnt brands of beetroot. Personaly i think the isolation has gotten to them and have developed some kind of strange beetroot cult

In Sydney they eat loads of pickled. See it here in Coles and Woolworths as well. I like it but not on burgers

Re: Can you get the following in Oz!?
Ok, I'm not fussy, and am not finding myself missing too much food/drinkwise from the UK. However there are a few things I was wondering if you could get, so here goes:
* Ready made polenta: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Image.../41/001341.jpg like this or similar?!
* Sugar free ice-pops or whatever they're called here? Can anybody recommend any brands or show me any pictures as I can't seem to find any in the supermarkets?
* Sugar free fizzy canned drinks, I've come to the realisation that I can't get anything apart from coke or pepsi in a sugar free form in the servos, but are there any nice flavoured sugar free fizzy drinks you can buy in cans or bottles in the supermarkets? This is not something I drink often I might add, but when I do fancy something fizzy, the whole coke thing is wearing very thin, YUCK!
* Chickpeas, either dried, canned or frozen?
* Pickled beetroot, in a jar, like the stuff you'd get back home, I love it with salads, all I've seen is the stuff in the can!?That's about all for now, your help would be greatly appreciated folks.

AHA! Thought it was! Glad it all went well for you. You do get some very angry people on that Forum. I was one of them until I got out!
