Re: What are the things that...
Good quality but not expensive childrens shoes .... but got used to everything else!
(To all the book complaints with which I agree - What's wrong with your local libraries guys????) |
Re: What are the things that...
Actually went to the library on Tuesday.
Sometimes there are books which are just lovely to own. I use Book Depository though when I want to buy something. |

Books and shoes. Books easily sorted by Book Depository but still having trouble with shoes - not everyone will ship to Oz.

Pint of (warm!) real ale. Impossible to get in aus as far as I know. You can get the bottles of black sheep/london pride imported (and v expensive) but not the same as the real from the cask stuff you find in UK pubs! Bisto gravy (sad I know). |

Re: What are the things that...
Well, compared to the US, the UK clothes shopping experience is a living hell, so I'm getting worried about what Australia will be like :-)
Not too fussy about latest fashions, but just want to be able to find clothes easily at a fair price... |
