http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298472

for example.

So i was politely asking that before you had a go at me for "not liking it" and accuse me of whinging i suggested you got your facts straight because you are misinformed about me and i find that irritating.
hi, sorry yes i did misunderstand you
and no dont think that i have read any of your posts, this was the first one, so it was all i had to go on,regarding you
from what i remember all your observations were negative ones. surely you must have seen a positive one at some point

I wasn't whinging and have never been acused of it by an Aussie in 18 months of living here, i was stating facts of the supermarkets around where i live, if you don't like it then don't bother reading it

BTW i never said anything was backwards either

I totally agree with you Hevs.

I agree, Robyn needs to chill out a bit

I am not a whinging pom (as you like to call us) I am just trying to find out as much as I can so I dont know what your problem is.

therefore jessica, am i right in thinking that you need a shopping delivery service? lmao

On page 2 of this thread i wrote

The supermarkets where we live sell everything our English one sells except monterey jack cheese fro my nachos!

..............................

So yes a positive. I make both negative and positive observations where i feel they are warranted.

It can often be wise to get to know the dynamics of a person before you accuse them of something that they clearly arn't.

PS I like getting my bags packed to!

Do you Jessica rabbit well I dont think its a matter of chilling out i was just stating that why condemn our supermarkets when you put them together and there much of a muchness....The bottom line is everyone needs to eat the supermarkets are open long hours...regardless if there floors look dirty and tehre trolleys are old rust buckets and the aisles are to small you people chose to live here so put up with it.......thats all im saying dont whinge about it..
as for you Jessica Rabbit Im sure no matter where you live you will find a supermarket close by unless you are out in the sticks then it might be abit of a drama even with one car you can shop when hubby gets home they open long hours

Thanks for that, although the cold black tea being one of the ingredients has me worried

Now to find someone who will bake it for me I wonder if it will taste like Soreen
