They have also got Yorkshire puddings back in for winter:thumbsup:

I hope they have proper boiled sweets, I like pear drops and rhubarb custard type sweets. All I can ever find here is jellys:confused:

Worth it for Yuurksher tea.

I've had to resort to buying Twinings after vowing I never would again after the first two brands I tried were rank. I could live without most things but no decent tea.

With regard to tea bags have you tried Aldi standard strong round, always bought Yorkshire Gold when we first got here but found these and felt they were nearly as good and at just over $2 a box they don't hit the bank account too hard.

Ok went to Aldi this morn, got 2 boxes of Yorkshire Gold tea, $6.99 for a box of 40, a tad expensive, hence why I only picked up the two. :sneaky:

2 packs of choccie limes, 2 boxes of dolly mixtures and a packet of chocolate digestives.

That was my lot, people in there were going nuts. :rolleyes:

The pickled onions are Australian pickled onions:eek: :lol: felt right ripped off.

They had the biscuits, none of the sweets, except dolly mixtures and the soup, plus some mushy peas.
