I did see 'Wheat Biscuits' in Coles the other day, which were Weetabix, but branded differently although same packaging, as there are already Sanitarium Weetbix here.
They were $12 for 24. You gotta be kidding right?

he left a stash of mini eggs. We have had 3 loads of visitors this year and no more planned now. Just feels like it might be a while before we see anyone from UK again. Didn't expect to feel sad about that but feelings can sneak up on you.

He came here with a bag full of UK chocs and crisps for us and filled the same bag going home with cherry ripes and twisties for his rugby team mate aussie Tom.

[QUOTE=stevemich]I am sure there would be quite a bit of interest - although personally speaking, I do not understand wanting to have UK food abroad... eating the food of the country you are in is part of calling it home

Would there be any interest in an online store focusing on Brit stuff?
Thanks,

Re: Where do you buy British products?
I read somewhere on here that My Mate is the same as British Marmite. While I'm not entirely convinced, I'm prepared to give it a go (worth a try instead of paying $18 for a 250g jar which I currently do fairly happily).
Does anyone know where on the Sunshine Coast I can find My Mate? I can't find it in Woolworth's in Currimundi or Coles in Caloundra.
Thanks
