The other day I took a wee notion for a 'slider' so popped to the shops n got some wafers, then I took a wee notion for carrots n parsnip, so I bought some, this notion though, isn't quite so simple, EEEK! LOL

Nothing wrong with missing food from back in the UK. I miss Jamaica Patties now and again. I reckon you maybe able to source that Batchelors stuff here though. After all when the Local Italians and Greeks miss something... They start an import business. You never know you maybe able to do that with Batchelors... if it turns out you cant get it locally.

UK - the freeze-dried, pre-packed, pre-cooked, pre-prepared nation, where the ASDA ready meal is considered the height of culinary perfection.

You need a new gig for the New Year mate. You're not going to catch anybody with that old bait.

I wouldnt bother... P'tan yanG kipperbang and all that....

Had a pack of walkers smokey bacon crisps yesterday... Now either they lost summit in translation or they really DID taste chemically and my tastebuds were too corrupt to notice when I was in the UK....

Same goes for..... Shock.... Horrah.... I've been here too long

CADBURYS DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE

For the first time since coming to australia the english cadburys just didnt do it for me at all.... Methinks me is sick
