Which area are you in? I hear so many people saying that they miss a good curry. I can recommend a place! A place called Kasturi in Frankston Melbourne, better than many in the UK. Unfortunatly, Indian isnt my favourite. Now if someone could do the same for me recommending a decent chinese takeaway / restaurant!? The chinese food here is dreadful

$268 for a Juicy bag? I'd always thought Juicy Couture was a bit chav, those chav's must have money!

Tried the Spice Avenue in Birkdale, s'alright nothing overly special though, if I lived closer I'd probably go a little more often.

I also miss Krackawheat crackers, nothing compares to them. My MIL brought me 5 packs over along with some pickled onion monstermunch .

I've got a packet of Bisto in the cupboard that hubby got from IGA (I think) & a jar of Bisto Best vegetable gravy we got from a British shop. Apparently they sell Walkers prawn cocktail crisps there which for some reason I'm missing but I forgot to look for them in all the excitement when we found Yorkshire tea bags for hubby

You can buy cans of Carling from the Beerstore online, although when hubby saw the price he decided he didn't miss it that much. May suprise him and get him some for his birthday though

Would that be a well fired roll and slice? There's a butcher shop I use that does a great slice sausage.

So...If only I could buy...plain bread, so I can toast it and spread it with Anchor butter. I hope Soapy's reading
