God no. Not a personal experience. Just pictures I saw somewhere on the web

Anybody know of places selling English stuff in Melbourne just out of interest?

Theres a fab place that Hevs took us to up on the Dandenongs - someone should know it?! Its in Sassafras I think.......?

yes have been up in the hills up there and there is an english candy shop up there although a bit pricey...............coz of all the bloody tourists..

Collins Street in the city between Swanston and Elizabeth streets.

Its called Treats from Home and they have a website. Its in one of the arcades on the first floor. Little shop but pretty good for crisps, chocolates, sweets, bisto, Marmite. A little bit pricey but well worth a visit every few months.
Speaking of which, must dust off the credit card for my next visit

You don't say where they are ..... Around Brisbane they could try Syd's Pies or Pommes Tea Shop.

Hi Sass,

Thanks for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's little things like that that can be the difference between having a bad day and having a cool day in Melbourne.You know, like when all you want is something from home?!
Thanks again, will check out the website.
*pearly*

There is a shop in Caloundra, Queensland that sells them and they do postal orders around Australia. They do heaps imported food and pork pies!!!
They are Jemberly's Fudge Kitchen Phone Number: (07) 5491 1165

I am pretty sure I have seen them at woolies or coles

I wish. Sorry, some naff Aussie imitation maybe, but not the real thing.

The Bloke has just come in from Tarjay (!) where he apparently struck up a onversation with a a woman in the queue, who was dreaming of Tescos and their "open another checkout" thing (as the queue was 30 people deep). She was also dreaming of Hula Hoops, and asked if its still possible to get Monster Munch!

Ah! Much like the Stella, Becks or Any other 'import' beer you care to name.

PS they all taste fine to me but some of the connoisseurs on this site can tell the difference. All goes down the same hatch.

I remember my first taste of the Aussie imitation Stella - nearly spat at back at the barman! Revolting!

Hi - Do you mean Pommes Teashop in Wynnum? I only found out the other day that they have now opened a shop selling Brit food so I am taking a trip down there next week to check it out.

Where's Wynumm and what sort of Brit stuff do they sell?? Let us know once you get down there.

Hi, Wynnum is one of the Bayside suburbs of Brisbane, on the Southside, maybe 40 mins by train from the CBD to give you a ball park idea of distance. I used to live in Wynnum and it's a funny old place but just round the bay from v. v. up and coming Manly - so if you were making a trip of it you could have have a frappeccino at Manly and stroll around it's marina to look at the lovely yachts and a walk along the promenade - which is just beautiful. I'll post something after I have paid a visit to the pommy food shop - but a friend of mine told me it's got Walkers crisps, biscuits brands and sweets you can buy in the UK and, wait for it, Bisto gravy granules (ahhhh, Bisto....)
