Red rooter???! :scared:

Mr GG would vote the availability of sushi.

I'd go for Myers - the whole shop.

(As an afterthought, I'd have to add finding unscented loo roll. )

I have to say the one thing I missed the most while in the UK was Napisan!!! I could never get my whites quite as white as I do when I have my Napisan!!

Its this kind of hickory essence that gives a lovely smokey flavour to food when you use it marinades etc. Good stuff and I've only seen it in shops here.

I thought of another - Havaiana flipflops.

If you get stuck you can get it (and many other Aussie delights) from the Australia Store in London. They do online mail order if you're not in the area.

Heres the link: http://www.australiashop.co.uk/

You know this is fate!! I've been wandering around today trying to find a body lotion. I'm just about all out of my Sanctuary Body Souffle! I love it, but not enough to buy it online as it'd cost a fortune in postage!!! I'm off to Myers tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Whoo hoo, you've made my day... so easily pleased!

*Cherry ripes......love 'em and used to take 3 multipacks of funsize home with me when I was on holiday...usually lasted a week!

*Cherry Tim Tams (yup there's a theme here!)

*Max's Cat and Pet Litter (theme has ended now!) - it totally neutralizes the odours and is the best litter I've used.....and I've tried a few..well the pussies have!
