Re: Instant Coffee

One thing I do admit to is the proper coffee in Aus is very good! My personal fave is Vittorias top range fresh ground one that comes in the black and gold tin. Expensive mind at over $20 a go!!

Mellow Birds? You gotta be joking i didnt think they still sold it.
If i have to have instant it has to be 2 heaped spoons of UK Nescafe coz Aussie one is crap

(The wife went and bought 10 jars last night, as it was on special offer in the supermarket!)

I believe you can get that in "A taste of Britain' in Joondalup and Butler. Would you like me to ring them to find out for you?

"I didn't think you could find Mellow Birds outside of the 1970s"

Which must mean that it'll be on sale in every Australian supermarket then?

Tell me about it!

I'm a bit peed off as OH packed up my coffee maker and has it stored in the garage as we thought we were shipping it. Cant be bothered getting it all out again so stuck with instant till we get back to blighty.
