Hi

There is also an English shop in Hampton now and the Chocolate Kettle in Mornington sells UK sweets as well...however, be prepared to pay through the nose for it all.

I saw a Jamaican Ginger Cake (yum) on sale for $8 and the wrapping had a GPB1.29 sticker on it! Then I saw Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons but at $3 for a tiny wee bag ....erm ...no! Apparently it's expensive because the unloading the shipments is expensive.

Does anyone get UK chocci/food flown out here by their folks and does it get through customs okay?

Fortunately because individual chocci bars are so expensive here I've weaned myself of buying them and also trained myself to eat dark chocolate as it's better than the milk chocci so I can just about survive!

But a bag of Giant Buttons wouldn't go amiss as you can't get those here :(

You have to go into Treats from Home on Collins St, just to see the chick from England with the freaky ginger hair.:D I'm in Melb all the time for business and stay at the Stamford so I pop in after a hard days work and just looking at her brightens my day.:thumbup:
