Tattie scones, Paxo and Quavers
Just for anyone in the area, we went for a walk along the waterfront at Redcliffe and had a spot of lunch. Down one of the little arcades, was a shop selling British products. Tried to remember the name of it, but memory like a sieve 
.
It didn't have as much as I'd hoped and I'm not missing much at the moment anyway, haven't been here long enough. (except Bisto gravy...)
I did get excited when I spotted the potato scones (this will interest the Scottish contingency more), and they even have square sausage, although, I never touched that stuff even when I was in Edinburgh!
Other things like, Scotsh Pies, british choccy bars like Rolos and Munchies.
The prices did reflect the fact that you can't buy any of it in the average Aussie store, but I may have to go and purchase some tattie scones!

Theres one called the Chocolate Boulevard in the Myers Centre Food Court in Queens Street as well. They have a really wide range of stuff, though you can't always predict what will be in at any one time.
