Ok so you've moved or are potentially going to move 10,000 miles away.

Here you buy Marmite in Oz it's vegemite?

So here's a chance to name the products you use/ed in the UK that have an equal/ similar in Australia

Ok so we all know some kids go through the phase of wanting crusts off their sandwiches so we get the kids Crusts Away - whats the equal in Oz?

Here the kids drink Tesco Whole Orange Squash - ?

Don't you just use a knife and cut them off?

Ozzidoc

Yep, it's a judgement. I think that squash is toxic....and I'm not even a greenie/organic type of person.

It's called "cordial".....often pronounced by kids as "cordigul".

Kia Ora is a brand that springs to mind....you have to dilute it.

JenJen

Nope? Cause when you see it in the supermarket crustless why cut the crusts off and have to throw them away when you can buy them without?

ok

The kids hate orange juice, the older two will drink almost any squash drink, milk, milkshake, water at a push. They don't like fizzy drinks at all which is good.

bcworld

....i think the equivalent is probably Cottee's Coola Cordial.....the green one....equally toxic.

isn't durex in aus a brand of sticky tape (could lead to some very sticky(pun intended) situations)

moneypenny20

I've never seen Durex sticky tape but have seen Durex condoms. It's quite simple though, if you want sticky tape you go to the stationery section and if you want condoms you go to the pharmacy section.

Never heard of crustless bread sounds like a company fleecing the customer to me. Marmite isn't Vegemite. They are different. Don't worry about it. Get here and each time you go shopping pick up one new thing. That way after a few months you will know what you like and what you don't.

JenJen

Hmm Tds say they are a bit different but we can get vegemite from Tesco here and the kids love it my eldest says it's a bit sweeter than Marmite.

lol well it works with Crusts Away I no longer have to cut the edges off cause there aren't any

chrispy

Penguins .... Tim Tams (which are much better)
Flip flops .... thongs
Thongs.... haven't a clue
Speedos.... budgie smugglers

6 pack ... slab
beajeulais neuveau... clean skin (effectively the same, more variety in the aus ones)


err.. run out of inspiration

Ozzidoc

thongs = g-string

Scott

JenJen

Scott

JenJen
