Did you? When? A couple of really good friends worked for McV too, he was in charge of the marketing for Boasters when they were being launched so that meant a bootful of biccies ready for the raiding.. oh those days when I could eat anything and not get fat!

I can get Barley water at a couple of local HEB supermarkets in Austin.

Oh, a long time ago, back in the 1980's and I worked at the SW distribution warehouse in Gloucester. The crazy thing is that I can still remember some of the product codes like I worked there yesterday, like 11172 250g digestives, 11180 400g digestives, 38842 25g KP salted peanuts 38850 50g KP salted peanuts. ......

After refusing to pay $8 for a small bottle of Ribena at my local Krogers, I converted to the Mio water flavourings quite easily.

In fact, now I'm back in the UK, I'm drinking the Robinson's equivalents rather than traditional squash. (don't drink tea or coffee).

I converted too. We have no Ribena source here, even at outrageous prices. I also use the low calorie drink powders sometimes, Snapple or Chrystal Light or whatever.

Where are you manjo?

Here in Houston some Kroger's and HEB's have Robinson's and Ribena as people have said, Fiesta too, and we have a British store in town. Ribena was nearly $10 a bottle last time I bought it, goes well with dark rum though!

I get all sorts of fascinating and unusual flavours from here, to make squash or interesting cocktails:

The online British Food Shop seems to be trying to get it's act together and has started selling goods at a nearly reasonable price, $3.80 for Robinsons barley water is not too bad at all, Hobnob's at $2.37. They have also introduced a much better flat rate postage cost, now $29.99 for 30kg instead of what used to cost about $50
