Hated Pampers, leaked badly with both daughters. Boot's own and Somerfield's own brands were the only ones that fitted their bums 
I actually thought of something you can't get here that I wouldn't mind having and that's Colemans Mustard Powder. Used to use it a lot in stuff and whilst I use the made up stuff instead, the powder was much more useful to me. Did look in a British Shop once but they didn't have it so not to worry.

We could do with an Argos. I quite liked sitting down pouring through the catalogue and then being able to get several things in one go.

Re: What cant we get here?
Got Coleman's Mustard from Coles. Use mustard seeds in cooking, just not the same as Coleman's Mustard Powder. It's not important enough for me to worry about, just something that occurred to me the other day I generally struggle to think of anything on these threads, was quite pleased to come up with something
I generally struggle to think of anything on these threads, was quite pleased to come up with something For example i used to use a tube of tomato paste with all mixed herbs and garlic (but it had a spicy taste to it) in my Bolognaise sauce. Cant find anything similar and cant reinvent the taste for the life of me !!!

Re: What cant we get here?
I struggle too normally . There is nothing that i miss so badly that i cant do without but every now and again i think " mmm could have done with that ".
For example i used to use a tube of tomato paste with all mixed herbs and garlic (but it had a spicy taste to it) in my Bolognaise sauce. Cant find anything similar and cant reinvent the taste for the life of me !!!

Re: What cant we get here?
At the moment, "Raguletto Pasta Sauce" at $1.99 for 500 g is relatively cheap and good tasting for a bottled sauce. Available in several varieties, those with "Red Wine" are good. Adding chopped "Hoyt's Sundried Tomatoes" (bottled with oil) and chopped fresh parsley sparks it up.
I guess i just have to adapt to my sauce tasting different now !!!
