I thought it was just my taste had changed, but here in Singapore, they import HP sauce from the UK, and it definitely is better than the aussie version

In any case, now that HP Sauce has gone to the Netherlands, you'll be eating foreign HP whether you like it or not
And HP Sauce is owned by Heinz - a Yank company - so it hasn't been British for years.

So it is the real thing after all, which means that the alleged "taste difference" must be nothing more than a perception of difference.
